Re: Mentors

Hmm. It sounds like you are experiencing some problems with the expectations of the students and mentors. From your post I would assume the students are feeling as though they are not being included in the design/build/decision making process. This is a team organizational issue and I suggest you search through the Team Organization forum - there have been similar threads posted there. Creating a team handbook which outlines your organization's structure, expectations rules, consequences, decision-making process, will help the team focus on the work to be done and not on the conflicts which may be occurring. Several teams have posted their handbooks in the White papers section.
