Hi all!
When I go into my Mentoring Workspace, I can filter past mentoring sessions by student name or by exercise name.
However, I often find myself wanting to search by the text of the messages in the session. While I make extensive use of the Scratchpad area to keep exercise-related notes that I can use when mentoring, there are certain questions that come up often irrespective of the exercise (in the C++ track questions about what a reference is, pass-by-value vs pass-by-const-ref, why we need .h files…). In those situations, I often find myself having to type explanations anew, because I cannot find any of the previous ones (I can’t remember who I last discussed the topic with!).
A solution for this could be:
- Being able to search past mentoring sessions by text; or
- Adding a track-wide Scratchpad area (cool addition but one still needs to remember to write the stuff there in the first place!).
Cheers!
