Philosophy and Guidance Principles for Mentoring Dissertation from Dr. Cuellar
1) The best dissertation is the finished one!
2) Use the energy of the students with a topic he or she likes.
3) Do not force your interests and biases on the mentee.
4) Adapt to the student working style.
5) Begin early on a topic.
6) Use an informal style fitting the student and change as needed.
7) Many students working with me finish first in their cohort because we start early on topic, content and method.
8) I do not take personal insult when the students want to change his or her mentor.
