About this session
Sometimes the fastest way to grow is to get thoughtful feedback on the work you are already doing. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you review a real piece of work with someone experienced in your field, whether that is a project, presentation, product decision, design, strategy, document, or deliverable. It is a chance to get a more expert perspective on what is working, what is not, and how to improve it.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to break down your work, understand where it is strong, and identify the biggest opportunities to level it up. Together, you can discuss execution, clarity, quality, decision-making, and how the work might be perceived by teammates, managers, clients, or stakeholders. The goal is to leave with sharper feedback, better instincts, and practical next steps you can apply right away.
Your mentor
What type of projects I can help with?
If you have a code project (Python, C/C++, or Matlab), a presentation (onsite interview, conference, thesis), or a paper, and you need constructive feedback to improve the quality of the work, resolve a bug in the code, devise a method to solve the project or revise the paper or presentation, you can book this session.
Why can you count on me?
I have more than 9 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students in academic settings and technicians and engineers in industry settings to guide them to successfully deliver their assignments and project.
How do we run the session?
1. (Optional but Recommended) You send me a short description of the work that you want to discuss. Ideally, you need to ask the specific question(s) or discuss the issue(s) that you need my help with. If you prefer, you can share the related files, too.
2. You should receive a confirmation from me that I received your description and the corresponding files. After that, I review your questions and work before our 1-on-1 session. This helps to spend most of the session discussing the solution or giving constructive feedback.
3. We schedule a time to have our 1-on-1 session via Calendly.
4. We run the 1-on-1 session via Zoom or Google Hangout (depends on your preference). The whole session will be divided into 3 sections. First 5 minutes of the session, we discuss the problem and the goal of the session to ensure we are on the same page. Then, we review the work or discuss the solution to address the issue that you are facing. Finally, we wrapped up the session and summarize the items that have been discussed, and proposed any future steps if needed.
