[quote=Anonymous]Ron Lieber's new book has some interesting thoughts about the value of college and notes that a relationship with professors, where they actually know students, is one of the things that was one of six crucial factors tracked in the 2014 Gallup-Purdue Index Report, the largest poll of students. Lieber says the three factors that contribute most to well-being involved aspects of mentorship.
This bit struck me: Just 14% of students strongly agreed when Gallup asked if they'd experienced one of these three factors of mentorship. And Lieber says Gallup doesn't name names, but his source said "the so-called R1 research university - mostly big, mostly public - had scored second worst on mentorship, with Ivy League schools coming in [b]dead last[/b] due to their propensity for hiring famous researchers who are not good teachers."
If you have students in college now or who recently finished, what was their mentorship experience like at their colleges? Would love specific examples and names of colleges. Thanks!
