Disagreements

Today Mandy and Murphy are reminding you that sometimes even the best of friends have disagreements, so it is not surprising if you disagree with your faculty mentors sometimes.

Avoid arguing as much as you can! Write out your position; let it sit for a day then email it to them. If they still disagree, you have two choices. Accept what they are saying and move on or you can continue to fight it. If you are considering this option, ask yourself, is this thing worth holding up my progress? If you say no, then accept the faculty's position and move on. If it is something you cannot let go, you may need to consider changing faculty mentors. This is not to be taken lightly, your new mentor may insist on new changes and may not be any easier with which to work. Discuss such a decision with a faculty member, administrator, or your academic advisor. Consider it carefully. 

Next time, we will consider staying positive. 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! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
