Mentoring

Mentoring Philosophy

A good mentor sees potential in mentees they may not even realize they possess. The role of a good mentor is to bring out the best in the mentees, encouraging them to live up to their true identity. A good mentor builds up with clear vision.

For Students Seeking Recommendation letters:

In general, I am happy to support students seeking a variety of chances. For students seeking recommendations, the minimum expectations are:

(1) You contact the instructor three weeks before the deadline.

(2) You have actively participated in my class.

(3) You have maintained good communication with the instructor.

(4) You have received a grade of B+ and above (not an absolute standard but most of the time).

I hope all students succeed. These general expectations are not meant to keep students away. Rather, please understand that instructors need to write honest letters. Therefore, I do not want to write letters that do not make you competitive.
