Mentor and Protege: The Phases in the life of a PhD student

M

Hello everyone,

I came across some very interesting links that I thought, might be at least interesting and/or helpful.

List of phases of being a protege
http://www.sonic.net/~mfreeman/mentor/phases.htm

This guide has a nice set of references at the end

I especially enjoyed the list of good and bad attributes of mentors given in this talk by Dr. Leticia Márquez-Magaña (up)
http://cfao.ucolick.org/EO/resources/CfAOMentorTalk_Marquez.pdf

e.g. Available vs. unavailable?  Attends conferences with students? Constructive vs. Poor feedback? Organized vs. Disorganized? Sets clear goals vs. Expects too much? :-s

Let me know what you think about these.

Cheers
