Methods for Dealing with Student Burnout (from Stress, burnout, and stepping back)

[marshall]

How do teams deal with senior burnout? Strictly, I mean students who have been on the team for 2/3 years and make commitments to do a lot in their 4th year (either as student leaders or otherwise) but then fail to live up to the expectations they helped to set for themselves and for the team? They end up with the dreaded senior-itis and end up contributing very little to the team.

I'm curious how other teams deal with this issue.

I split this question into its own thread because I believe it has merit but also that it's a sufficiently different subject from where it was posted that it might cause a lot of crosstalk.

If that's objectionable, PM me and we can work something out.

Not a problem at all. It probably deserves its own thread given the subject matter.
