Re: Mentors on drive team

IMHO a mentor taking the coaching position is the easy way out. It is far more difficult to hone the communication skills and analytical skills of a student, to shape them and guide them but I have seen first hand how rewarding it can be.

that being said it is not a clear cut thing, and there are certain situations and teams that it works well for.
