What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
Zac was awesome and timely with his responses, I really don't have much advice for him.
Keep doing great and helping!
I would tell mentor to respond a little more, She had a lot of good ideas I just needed more than what she gave.
To continue giving advice, not to be scared to say if something needs work. You are the expert, we are completely open to suggestions and opinions.
I would tell him to keep doing what he's doing, because it works.
I think she was great!
My mentor was excellent; I do not have any complaints or suggestions, to be honest.
The advice I would give to my mentor is that they should keep on track with the student.
Please communicate with them more. If you plan on going on vacation, let your student know beforehand.
My mentor was great, but slightly lacked in knowledge of the subject matter.
Be respectful, and no belittling, try to help them with their deadlines more fashionably.
Try to give more constructive criticism.
Lisa did great when it came to consistent communication. She always got back to me very quickly and she offered great advice. I would advise her to continue these habits in order to help another student as much as she helped me!
The advice I would give my mentor for a new student is keeping up the useful feedback given throughout the project.
Continue to do what you do.
Make sure to ask for papers and keep the students on schedule with the timeline.
Nothing, she did everything great.
Some advice I would give to my mentor would to just be respond faster and warn them when they were going on vacation so they would not be left randomly by themselves for a week.
I think it is really important to check pathways at least twice a week because it hard to edit or fix things you have questions on and your mentor doesn't respond for over a week.
The advice I would give would be to be a little more vocal and consistent with the student.
My advice would be to offer more constructive criticism and suggestions to future students. I think that if I hand more recommendations then I could have improved my project even more.
I would advice my mentor to actively edit and offer even more suggestions rather than asking how they can help.

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
The most difficult parts were actually my fault. I didn't have some of the sections of my paper to him as quick as I should have, but he bared with me.
The sharing of files, and not being able to share a google drive doc.
Most difficult part of working with my mentor was responding twice a week i felt as though i could ask questions the first day and update her, then the second day i would have nothing to say.
The introduction.
The most difficult part was maintaining constant communication.
Remembering to communicate everyday..
The website is a bit confusing and hard to navigate at first
The most difficult part is that sending files to them.
Communication, she did not communicate often with me.
Layout of the website, is slightly awkward.
Most certainly the market research, other than it was typing words.
The worst part was remembering to email my mentor.
The most difficult parts of working on a project like this is a time delay. Typically only one message is sent each day which makes feedback come somewhat slowly.
N/A
The hardest part was making sure my progress reflected the point where I needed to be. In order to not let my mentor down I needed to stay on top of things and gotten things done when needed.
Occasionally, communication had difficult. With days off and breaks, it began to become a challenge to have day to day contact.
Communication, since we had different schedules getting word from my mentor at times was hard but it was something we could adapt to.
Making sure we were on the same page and communicating twice a week.
The most difficult parts of working with my mentor would having to be communicating with them twice a week when you really were saying the same things both times. I think communicating with them once a week earlier in the project would be better, but as the due dates come closer communicating with them twice could help.
Honestly, I don't believe I ever had a difficult time with my mentor
The most difficult part was having your Mentor not respond for weeks at a time, but I know they have other priorities.
The most difficult part was working around schedules. we had to upload information by a certain date, and then wait back for a reply before we could continue.
Maintaining consistent and productive contact.
Did we miss something? If so, please share any additional comments you might have about your experience in the program.
No, I think this was a great service, thank you for all of the help!
