Re: Mentors level of power

This stuff is great guys, along with this question I'd like to ask another one too

How much control should a mentor have on a team?

Like lets say you team runs in a group structure system, meaning you have a student group leader for strategy,build,imagery,etc and then other students as team members for that group

Lets say your group makes a decision and a mentor comes in and shuts down that idea because they don't think its going to work. When you ask that leader why they say "Its not going to work its a waste of time" (we'll assume also of course that the group of students came up with a good idea and not an idea to,say make the robot fly =p).

Now do you think thats fair?

Should a mentor be able to do that?

What should a mentor be able to do, not to do?

yeah i know its a lot but it would mean the world to me if you guys answered these truthfully!
