I'm a chem e undergrad btw. The professor I work for right now does his own stuff most of the time. the only times I'm in contact with him are the times I have a question, or I'm updating him with results.
This is my first research position, and I made a lot of mistakes in terms of organization and time management. I think it would have been better for me if my professor worked in the same lab as I do. Again, this is my first research job so I have no frame of reference.
I will need to get 2 letters of rec eventually for grad school, and I don't think I will be getting one from this professor, mainly because I don't think I've proven much. It was a learning experience though.
Give me any advice you know, and be as specific as you can. For example, what do you mean when you say "find a professor that mentors you." Technically, they all mentor you. Please be specific.
thanks
