Mentors are key to helping you through your first year 

I believe I need to run a tighter ship. Its important to set rules and follow them as students tend to not want to do work. I have struggled with this this year and getting in the habit that not all students understand that education isn't free and maybe we need to take advantage of the opportunities that are being given. 

We are still using a curriculum from 25 years ago that I do not think has been updated to the current standards. We should have 4 levels of instruction and build upon each year. Its not that we are not teaching the instruction, it is that we are teaching in a non-constructive order. I think that we should move things into a way that we can build upon.
