Thismentor’s situated learning experience was more complete, as he was able to observe and learnfrom the experts of that community.Because mentoring the undergraduate students in a research project was beneficial to theparticipating mentors in terms of their learning and development, faculty who advise graduatestudents can consider encouraging them to pursue these types of activities. Though not alldepartments will have a similar course in place, faculty can consider providing opportunitieswithin their own research projects for graduate students to mentor undergraduate students.Although graduate students are generally well prepared to conduct research, they are not as
