I voted for experienced mentors.
We are a second year team.
Both years we have had incredibly hardworking student team members. I am so proud of their FIRST first year effort.
But, this year we had more mentors with experience. They were able to direct the students to use their talents and energy with the most effectiveness. And with the same hardworking team members (and more), our team excelled!
So, without the students, there is no team. But if the students come down with long-term frustration, can they maintain their numbers and enthusiasm?
Effective Mentors can reduce frustration and help sustain a team.
