Reviews / Votes
Ever wonder when professors are taught how to mentor their students? The little secret is that they aren't. They just figure it out by trial and error. This book is the basis for a course in mentoring. With the materials in the book, the course is a breeze to teach... and is useful for mentors at all levels. - Jo HandelsmanMore details
