Rating Breakdown

I worked with Dr. Jin as a short-term research intern. My main difficulty was the lack of clear guidance and concrete research direction. Project goals were often vague and expectations changed without sufficient explanation, which made it hard to plan work efficiently. This environment may suit very self-directed researchers, but for interns or junior researchers who need structured mentorship, the learning experience can be challenging.
