The Campbell-Lom mentoring model (our name of this model - Daniel K. Schneider) is a simple e-mail mechanism to enhance reflection, independence, and communication in young researchers.
The aime of this model is to promote higher levels of thinking necessary for successful research.

The model
To enhance communication, comprehension, reflection, and independence among undergraduate research students, Campbell and Lom (2006) developed a simple mechanism. On a regular basis, they ask our research students to answer these short questions via e-mail:
- How have you spent your time?
- What do you know?
- What don't you know?
- How can you find out what you don't know?
- What are your frustrations?
The first two questions stimulate students to document their progress, questions three and four encourage students to identify gaps in their knowledge and ways to fill in those gaps, and the last question allows students to identify and share any roadblocks they encounter in their research and learning.
