These fourelements are found in every diffusion program. The SFIP incorporates these elements

(McGuire &Reger, 2003). Therefore, it can be advantageous to have a broader conceptualization ofmentoring. Lottero-Perdue and Fifield (2010) present a conceptual framework for facultymentoring in higher education composed of five dimensions: 1) intended beneficiaries, 2) locusof control, 3) relationship characteristics, 4) topics, and 5) actions. Because there is a need formentoring across all stages of a faculty career, and across multiple aspects of faculty life, usingthis type of broad conceptualization can support explorations of mentoring structures beyond thetraditional intradepartmental faculty pairs.Kram (1985) defines mentoring as having two fundamental components: 1) career support and 2)psychosocial (i.e., personal and emotional

Thus the MoSfor each student starts with a value of 0 that linearly approaches 1 until they complete (or fail tocomplete) the course. This metric addresses the fundamental risk that leaving even small tasks tothe last minute can lead to failure. It does not account for the difference between a studentmethodically progressing through the units and one who completes the majority near the end ofthe semester.Pacing Metric(s) - Pacing metrics discern between early and later procrastination by looking atthe completion dates for intermediary milestones as well as the date a student completes the lastunit.
