One difficulty many students have
is accepting that although their dissertation is a major priority in their
life, for their faculty mentor, they are just one of many students. It is
important to realize that your mentor's time is divided among not only all of
his or her doctoral students, but also other obligations and commitments.
My message today is
to be patient with your mentors, give them a reasonable amount of time for
reviewing documents, answering emails and questions. Use your waiting times
productively by going on to the next step in your paper/ process, such as the
next chapter, preparing for a defense or IRB application.
Next time, I will begin a series of reflections to wrap up
2015. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a
future post? Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas!
