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
