A student is at risk of failing due to an undiagnosed learning disability. What is the mentor's most appropriate role?
Answer: Encourage the student to seek evaluation through the disability services office and support them through that process
Mentors facilitate connection to disability services for formal evaluation and legally appropriate accommodations, operating within their professional scope.
In risk management terminology, what does 'risk likelihood' assess?
Answer: The probability that a particular risk will materialize
Risk likelihood measures the probability of a risk event occurring, which is assessed separately from but combined with impact severity in risk prioritization.
A mentor is working with a student who has a history of dropping courses during finals week. Which proactive mitigation strategy is best?
Answer: Build a structured finals preparation plan early in the semester, addressing stressors before they peak
Proactive mitigation addresses a known risk pattern before it recurs, rather than waiting for the crisis to repeat.
Which type of risk is created when a mentor fails to document a student's disclosed safety concern?
Answer: Compliance and duty-of-care risk
Failing to document a safety disclosure creates compliance and duty-of-care risk, potentially violating institutional policy and legal obligations.
A student who transferred from a community college is struggling with academic culture shock. This is best classified as which type of risk?
Answer: Transition risk
Transition risk arises from major academic or life changes, such as transferring institutions, that disrupt a student's established routines and support systems.
When a mentor reviews a student's early alert notification from the LMS (Learning Management System), they are using:
Answer: Technology-enabled early warning systems as a proactive risk identification tool
LMS-based early alert systems provide real-time behavioral data (logins, submission rates) that function as proactive risk identification tools.
A student from an underrepresented background reports feeling like they don't belong on campus, which is affecting their motivation. This is an example of which academic risk factor?
Answer: Sense of belonging deficit / imposter syndrome risk
Belonging deficit and imposter syndrome are documented risk factors for underrepresented students that negatively impact motivation and persistence.
