Keeping that in mind, we have some suggestions on how you can build a supervisory relationship that is positive and productive for both of you. Students must know about work hours, safety, and confidentiality. Give clear direction. Students will most likely be unfamiliar with your work and your work environment.
Offer work that is professional and directly related to the student's major.
Give them responsibility. Let students have the authority to complete the task. Put the work into perspective. Let students know how their work fits into the overall project and goal. Make students part of the team.
