Leadership Institute. I am also the Vice President of National Alliance on
Mental Illness (NAMI) at UMBC.
How and why did you
get involved in being a tutor?
I was interested in becoming a writing tutor because I think
being able to communicate clearly and effectively is one of the most important
skills to have in all aspects of life.
What is your
favorite thing about being a tutor?
My favorite thing about being a tutor is being able to have
conversation with students that empower them to become better writers.
Why should students
utilize the tutoring?
Students should utilize tutoring because getting feedback from
others is a very powerful tool.
What advice would
you give students about how to prepare for a tutoring session?
Have a sense of what you want to get out of the session and be
thinking about what your concerns are. Be prepared to engage in a conversation.

someone work with you through the Learning Resources Center?
Students can work with me
in the Writing Center on Mondays from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and one Wednesdays

Practice Spanish with Madeline Dement
Fridays 2-5p, Library
Tell us a little about yourself…
My name is Madeline Dement, and I am a Sondheim scholar and global studies major with a focus in international development and minors in Spanish and international politics. I studied abroad with UMBC in Barranquilla, Colombia last summer where I was able to greatly improve my Spanish skills.
Tell us about how you are involved on campus.
Along with tutoring for the LRC, I work closely with the Shriver Center on campus as the events coordinator for Refugee Youth Project’s College JUMP. In that role, I coordinate college-access workshops for high school refugees in the Baltimore area. I’m also the secretary of the Spanish Conversation Club!
How and why did you get involved in being a tutor?
I became a tutor after being recommended by one of my Spanish professors. I was looking for ways to practice my Spanish even more, and I thought that I would be able to help students exceed in their Spanish classes with the strategies that I’ve cultivated in my years of learning the language.
What is your favorite thing about being a tutor?
I love when a student finally understands a topic that they’ve been struggling with and tells me about a time in class when they were successful with it!
Why should students utilize the tutoring?
Tutoring is a great way to reinforce whatever you’re learning in class, no matter what level you’re at. It can give you that little bit of extra time and guidance that you need to really understand a topic, and it gives you an opportunity to practice it with someone with more experience. Especially when learning a language, practice is the most important thing, so committing to tutoring is a great idea.
What advice would you give students about how to prepare for a tutoring session?
Make a list of questions that you have and topics that you don’t understand in class to bring to your appointment. The tutor will structure the appointment based on whatever you want to work on, so the best thing to do is come with questions!
When and where can someone work with you through the Learning Resources Center?
Students can make appointments for 50-minute tutoring appointments through the StudyTree app. If a student wants a weekly appointment, all they have to do is email the LRC! Along with private appointments with tutors, Spanish students can also visit the Spanish Lab on the first floor of the library from 2-5PM on Fridays for walk-in help!

What are FYI alerts?
Top Facts about the First Year Intervention Program
The First Year Intervention Program (FYI) is one of the many services that the Learning Resources Center offers to UMBC students.
The purpose of the program is twofold: to notify students in their first year at UMBC that they are in jeopardy of receiving a D or F in a certain course and to provide them with resources to improve their grade in that course and preserve their GPA.
By alerting students early in the semester, students have the ability to make the necessary changes to improve their grade and become successful in their academic careers.
When do FYI alerts get sent?
The FYI reporting period for the Fall 2017 semester is scheduled run from Monday, February 26 through Friday, March 30.
Help! I got an alert in one of my courses! What should I do?
Your professor sent you an alert because you are in danger of receiving a D or an F in that course. The first thing you should do is to contact your professor to figure out what your exact grade is and what you can do about it. Next, visit our Action Resource Center to see if there’s any services at UMBC that can help you improve your grade.
You can also schedule an academic success meeting with a staff member at the Learning Resources Center.
I got an alert, but I’m not in my first year at UMBC.
The alert program is designed to notify students in their first year at UMBC; however, instructors have the ability to send alerts to any student who is in danger of receiving a D or F in the course. If you received an alert, it means that your grade is in jeopardy and you should take action immediately.
If I’m in danger of receiving a D or an F, doesn’t that mean I could still be passing?
It is possible, but you could just barely be passing. If you are in a course that has a second level to it (such as MATH 150, or BIOL 141), you MUST receive a C or higher to move on to the next level. If you are trying to fulfill your GEP requirements with a course, you MUST have a C or higher for it to count. This is why we ask professors to let you know if you are in danger of receiving a D.
