CAM Risk Management & Mitigation 2

Question 1

A student with test anxiety consistently underperforms on exams despite strong class participation. Which mitigation strategy should an academic mentor prioritize first?

Accepted Answer

Collaborate with the student to develop evidence-based test-taking and anxiety-reduction techniques

Answer

Collaborating with the student on evidence-based strategies (e.g., relaxation techniques, timed practice tests) directly addresses test anxiety as a risk to academic performance.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes a 'leading indicator' in academic risk management?

Accepted Answer

Early warning signs such as missed assignments or declining attendance

Answer

Leading indicators are proactive signals (like attendance drops) that predict future academic risk, allowing intervention before failure occurs.

Question 3

An academic mentor discovers that a mentee is working 35 hours per week while taking 18 credit hours. How should the mentor categorize this situation?

Accepted Answer

High risk due to likely time management strain affecting academic performance

Answer

Working 35 hours weekly while carrying a heavy course load creates a high risk of burnout, poor time management, and academic underperformance.

Question 4

A mentor wants to create a risk mitigation plan for a first-generation college student. Which element is MOST critical to include?

Accepted Answer

Identification of campus support resources and how to access them

Answer

First-generation students often lack knowledge of available resources, so mapping support services is the most critical mitigation element.

Question 5

When conducting a risk assessment for an academic mentee, which approach is most aligned with ethical mentoring standards?

Accepted Answer

Using standardized data alongside confidential student disclosures to form a holistic picture

Answer

Ethical risk assessment integrates multiple data sources holistically while maintaining student confidentiality and trust.
