[Intrusions] [OT] SANS local mentor for track 3 - experience/suggestions?!?

[Rick.Wanner at sasktel.sk.ca]

I too am a Local Mentor for Track 2 (GCFW) and will probably be doing a 
Track 1 (GSEC) in the fall as well.  Altogether I have mentored three 
sessions, and in my opinion how well you do in a LMP depends on awful lot 
on the motivation of the student.

You get access to the courseware and MP3s of the lectures.  In order to 
make the most of that material you need to keep up with or ahead of the 
class.  This means a commitment of up to 15 hours a week between classes. 
You should also be prepared to spend time working on your practical 
assignment each week, because when the LMP program ends you will have a 
little more than 2 months to complete your practical paper, and the more 
you can get done during the program, and get feedback on from your mentor 
and other participants, the easier that last two months will be.  In my 
experience the students who do best in the LMP format are those with the 
drive and dedication to commit the hours to stay with the program.  I have 
rarely seen students 

My 2 cents ( 1.34 cents American)
