[quote=Anonymous]I only know that my DCs mentor did teach both undergraduates and graduate students.  I can't speak for them the mentor was amazing to agree to help DC but could not offer extensive time.   DC had to work through many issues on own and seek out some additional resources for certain problems.

For example,  the mentor might mention or explain conceptually a strategy for analyzing the data but DC had to learn on own something about a programming language and how to manipulate the data.  DC needed to find a different resource for assistance with that.

There is also a science research teacher in the high school that DC has for a half credit course each semester.  This person teaches them the basics of research methodology.

It can be a very challenging process.  There was a lot of frustration and doubt to overcome along the way and mine had to be very resourceful to make progress. The mentor does not hold their hands, or did not in the case of my DC.

But overall, it was a significant  growth and learning opportunity.[/quote]
