  2. A mentor notices a mentee is spending excessive time on entertainment websites during study sessions. Which digital strategy is MOST appropriate to address this?

  4. What is the primary purpose of using an online scheduling tool (e.g., Calendly) in an academic mentoring practice?

  5. A mentor wants to check if a mentee's submitted paper was plagiarized using available technology. Which tool is MOST appropriate?
