I think it is important to understand the 'Research Philosophy' of the professor that you are considering for your mentor. I was personally fortunate to have my graduate experience under Dr. John P. Jones in the Department of Plant Pathology and Physiology at Louisiana State University. I was given the freedom to design my own projects and pursue my own interests to earn my PhD. I strive to give the same opportunity and responsibility to all students that come into my program. Therefore, to "earn" a PhD it is my philosophy that you will use your new found knowledge to create your own experiences with both the program's and my support.
