In addressing this participation, some uses deficit frameworks assume students lack coping skills (for e.g., how balance work classes), these can be provided for them, example, through intervention programs. However, there is a general understanding regarding cope from an assets-based lens. This study reports on strategies 31 students, guided questions: 1) what personal mechanisms do undergraduate use navigate fields? 2) mentees leverage assistance mentors order The data was examined critical race theory mentoring frameworks.
