Re: Mentor Involvement
One of our mentors put it very well. There are 4 ways to look at it. I do, you watch. I do, you help. You do, I help. You do, I watch. From a students stand point, we hate it when mentors take over. However, you are supposed to be teaching us. Our team is mostly you do, I help, but since since only have at most 18 years of life experiences to base our facts of off, we need guidence sometimes, so do every once in awhile resort to I do, you help.

It probably just comes down to what you think is best. Talk to your students and see how they feel. Communication is key.
