Constructive CIs
I have been extremely fortunate to have two great CIs thus far. Though very different in their approaches, they have both contributed greatly to my nurturing development. I would just like to take the time out to thank the both of them... Diana Correa and Amy Patel.
They were both very supportive, offered constant constructive feedback, and were just excellent to work with. I felt the need to write this even more after hearing CI horror stories. Sometimes it is difficult when two people have conflicting personalities or the expectations that one has for the experience are too high or low--both which I was fortunate to not have to experience.
My only advice is to put it all out on the table in the beginning with finesse. That way you decrease any tension before the pot boils over.
