Official rulings

3 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

Harsh Mentor's ability resolves before the ability that caused it to trigger.

2017-04-18 · Wizards of the Coast

Harsh Mentor's ability doesn't trigger when an opponent activates an ability of a card in hand (such as cycling) or a card in a graveyard (such as embalm), even if that causes a card to be put onto the battlefield.

2017-04-18 · Wizards of the Coast

Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keyword abilities (such as equip) are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text. An activated mana ability is one that produces mana as it resolves, not one that costs mana to activate. Notably, exerting a creature isn't an activated ability.
