As Kynky Kytty's student, I can say for a fact that a week ago there was no submit to mentor button, but only yesterday I found this problem to have been resolved. It not only has a brand spankin' new "Submit to Mentor" button, but this button is already highlighted for you, with a clear warning beside the "Submit to Administrator" button. Thank goodness!

Oh, I see what happened... I sent Kytty a review of something I purchased on my own. Any assigned reviews still lack the "Submit to Mentor" button.

Because of this problem, why not just do away with the submit to administrator button for students? It seems better, to me, to ONLY have a "Submit to mentor" button for the students, as that's the whole purpose, correct? It gives a more intimate relationship between the mentor and student.

The button "Submit to Mentor" will appear in student account if:
- The student have an active class.
- The review category can be identified automatically based on product.
(If review category is not possible to identify based on product you will see an appropriate warning that review can be submitted to administrator only.)
Review categories can be automatically identified for all major categories such as vibrators, dildos, masturbators, anal toys, and dildo harnesses.
Before writing a review, the students can go the product list, select a product, click "write review" button and if the button "Submit to Mentor" button is present the review can be submitted to Mentor.
Without a review category we cannot publish the product because it is required to create a URL for review.

I'm not quite sure I understand this.. Maybe having my sisters running around screaming has given me brain damage. In any case, if something was submitted to a student by an administrator as a push assignment, then shouldn't it have been an item that could be identified automatically in a category? Just sayin'. What good are the push assignments to both students and mentors if items are getting assigned for reviews that cannot take place in the classroom?

The products for which review category cannot be identified automatically should NOT be selected for the classroom.
Could you please provide with a product code and we can try to identify how to resolve this issue on Monday.
Thank you.

Hmmm seems there have been some bugs and confusion.
I have been confused at times, but was able to figure everything out and am currently very happy with the program for the most part.

We have identified an error that prevents submitting an assigned review to the Mentor. The error will be fixed this week. I will make a separate post when it is done.

The button "Submit to Mentor" should be available now for the assigned reviews.

Do we have to wait for them to respond or can we cancel the class? Do we still get paid if we have to do that?

My next question is how do we initiate push reviews for the student? And is there/will there be a way to edit our areas of expertise if we feel we're strong enough in those to want to list?

Thank you for posting this information, it's very helpful for learning about the Mentor/Student program! Whoever came up with this concept; GREAT idea! I'm still new to writing my own reviews, and although I have ample product experience; I still have a hard time gathering my thoughts to write an extremely useful review. I've submitted a few requests to be a student, so hopefully someone picks me!

The Mentor ProgramGoal: In order to improve the overall quality of participation in the community we have created a system that will allow the more experienced members of our community to become teachers. These Mentors will help to educate and advise the newest reviewers joining our community, and help them to learn how to become an more experienced and well rounded contributor.What is a Student?A student is any new reviewer who decides to participate in the Mentor Program. How do I become a Student?You have to be a basic reviewer, and you may participate in the Mentor Program by activating it in the Contributor account. Contributors with the service level Basic are eligible for Mentor program. What is a Mentor?A Mentor is a an advanced reviewer who would like to help our new reviewers (Students) learn what makes a good review, which approach works best when testing and review writing, and also to help them become more experienced contributors. How to become a Mentor?In order to become a Mentor you need to have Contributor Rank of at least 6.0, and the desire to help the new contributors that are coming into our community. You can participate in the Mentor Program by requesting to join in your Contributor account.- The Mentor applies for the Mentor Program with a quick description about their area of expertise, and what kind student he/she might look for.- The administrator reviews the request, and approves or declines the request.- Once the Mentor is approved, he/she appears on the list of available Mentors in the Student account.How Students can apply for a class - A Student can select a Mentor from the list of available Mentors.- The Student writes an introduction to the Mentor. - The Mentor must either accept or decline mentoring the Student. - Once a Mentor takes on the Student, all other class requests for other Mentors must be cancelled.- Once mentor takes the student, a new class is created automatically. Activities in Class - Once a Mentor takes on a Student, the Student becomes eligible for push assignments.- The Mentor can contact the administrator and request push assignments for a student.- The administrator can create a push assignment, and Student should complete the order (like a regular assignment).- Student can submit their reviews to the Mentor. - The Mentor will be notified by email every time the Student writes a new review, while the student is in the class. - The Mentor will be able to see the submitted reviews and comment on them, and either publish or return to the Student for revisions. - The Student is able to see the comments left by the Mentor, modify the review, and re-submit to the Mentor. - The review will have a label that it was completed in assistance with their Mentor, if it was published by Mentor. A Mentor may indicate in the account that he is no longer available for new Students to guide. A Mentor also will not be available if he/she already has 2 current classes. Mentor can discontinue a relationship with Student at anytime by cancelling the class with Student. The communication between the Mentor and Student will be performed through the comments directly on the review or via messaging system. Graduation or The student didn’t pass- After the Student completes 2 reviews, the Mentor should make a decision to either graduate, or to not graduate the student. At this time the Mentor can also request that the Student writes another review. - Once a Student is graduated, the service level changes from Basic to Advanced Level.- The Mentor will receive a $25 gift card once the Student (with Basic level) finishes the class with any outcome (graduate or didn’t pass).As a more experienced member of the community, you the Mentor will now have the opportunity to make a difference in improving the standards of the community. You will be directly educating the Student on the ways of the community. For you the Student, this is your chance to learn from the more experienced Mentor. You will be able to ask questions, get advice, and receive feedback.

I think the Mentor program is doing very well. I've seen the difference having a mentor can make in a new reviewer and actually think it's the better system of the two available to become an advanced reviewer.
If you're a new contributor/reviewer and don't have a mentor yet, it's well worth getting a mentor for Eden's review program.

I've seen this asked before, but I've yet to see an answer. I figure it's just gotten lost beneath a lot of other questions, so I'm certainly not upset. Anyhoo, the question was: Is there a way to edit our areas of expertise? I just typed in "vibrators and dildo," but have since realized I want to flesh that out a bit and "sell" myself as a mentor, as it were.
