I want the mentor to come back to the point the mentee made about not having good class participation in a class of 9 consistent attendees, and revisit how she can improve the participation - even if it's a note at the end of this conversation to discuss it another time and set a meeting for that.

Intentionally connecting, clear, concise, and informative.
