QUESTION 01

QUESTION 02
How would you address the academic challenges Jasmine is encountering in her calculus courses?
“I understand the challenges you are facing with this new class material, have you considered exploring other courses that meet the degree requirement? I wouldn’t want you to pass the add/drop deadline. You may consider visiting the math learning center to gain helpful 1:1 tutoring sessions and math guides.”
“I understand that this is a new topic you are learning so it is normal to have difficulties understanding it. Your feelings pertaining to the subject are valid but please don’t be discouraged, we will figure this out together. We can co-create an educational plan that can better support you with this class material. Perhaps we can visit the math tutoring center, check out UC Riverside’s MathDoc student based organization, visit office hours or join a study group with class peers.”
QUESTION 03
Since Jasmine is a first-generation student, how would you begin to navigate the discussion around careers?
You provide Jasmine with multiple resources and opportunities within Mathematics (student organizations, research opportunities, internships), as well as Career Services.
Because of her struggles with Calculus, you engage in a deeper discussion about her values and career interests with mathematics to see if she is still interested.
QUESTION 04
How would you address Jasmine’s personal concern being a first-gen student?
“I can direct you to my colleague who works at the first-gen center, Vanessa, who can provide additional support on all of the services offered for first-generation students at UCR. There is also a professional organization for mathematics and I can connect with one of the student leaders, they are accepting applications year-round.”
“UCR’s website provides a general resource center listing, but they should be listed in your syllabus as well. If you have your syllabus handy, we can take a look and see what may work for you. You can also contact the resource directly and let me know if you have any questions.”
QUESTION 05
How would you end the conversation?
“Thank you for coming in today Jasmine. I hope this session was helpful to you. If you have any more questions or would like to meet again, feel free to reach out through email or schedule another appointment with me. Let’s keep in touch.”
