To complement the both of you, how about proposing projects to 2 students at the same time and have them work as a team? Pros : - mutual motivation - faster progress (if one finds documentation/bugs/whatever, the other can know about it faster) - continuous progress (if one "slacks off", the project can still go on) Cons : - risk of having one student slack off completely - mentors have to manage 2 students (I don't see it much as a hindrance but for the sake of completeness, I'll add it anyway) Anyway for some projects it might be nice. For example in the ffmpeg SoC project, one student could be a die hard coder, the other one more of a QA guy trying to find problems with the first one's code. (and maybe switch roles whenever they feel like it) Just a thought :) Rémi -- [email protected] mailing list
