How much time is involved in mentoring a student?
The amount of time involved will vary depending on the nature of the project. At a minimum, during the first month of hire, you or a research team member will need to work closely with the student to provide an orientation to and training for the project. Students should be given background information, an explanation about the project’s methods and procedures and be told about the role they will play. Faculty are encouraged to meet one on one with the student to review their progress and, when appropriate and possible, to include student assistants in the research team meetings.
