YES! thats so great. like at the end of the class have a survey for the student to fill out. a few simple multiple choice questions about their experience and a comments section. i like the way you're thinking cowboy.

That makes sense, didn't think about that.

Another thing that would be nice is a way to search products with no video's.

Yeah... I can see the results not being very accurate because nobody wants to stir up bad blood.

You might do where a former student could leave comments on the "mentor list" (so starkiller could say I'm awesome ) but that would also not be too very fair to new mentors. I know when I first became a mentor, it took like a month to get my first student because I didn't have the exposure that the more established mentors did.

A more reliable product search engine for sorting out verified reviews would be preferred first I think.

Aww, I like having an edge on what I pick thanks to browsign all the time but I guess I wouldn't want to stand in the way of fairness, so if it happens I will not pout!

A little late to this one, but I really wish that lube/massage oil/etc was covered under this. Glycerin is a major allergy for me, and it's annoying that I can check off a million fabrics, but not a very common allergy. I'm stuck scanning lists that half the time aren't even on the product page.

It's easier to get students now as a new mentor than it used to be. The list on the community page randomizes mentors and there's now the 30 day cap for # of accepted students.

Excellent point. A list of common allergies would be a fantastic idea.

Ooh! Good thought.

I just don't have any lubes or glycerine-containing items listed in my 'products preferences' ---so if I could filter out glycerine I could add a couple more categories!

Yeah, I've noticed and appreciated that randomization.

Also, when I was a student for the first time, I went through the list and looked for somebody with single-digits students so I could be getting helping someone newer out... but I guess not everybody thinks like that (or even finds the mentor list, I guess a lot of people use the community page)

Agreed! If the mentor is not doing his/her job, folks/EF need to know. The mentors are there to help not just publish reviews and gain points/GC.

lol I've had 13 students total (6 currently in class) and I think I've gotten a total of 2 GCs, and one was for failing a student.

On a related issue, can we get the option to fail a student after just 1 review please? I have a few students write one review and disappear. My only option is to cancel the class which removes any evidence of any work I did.
