          <div class="html-content"><div>Congratulations to Ajay Kharkar, Academic Success Center's Writing Center Tutor!</div><div><br></div><div>Ajay will attend the Naylor Workshop for Undergraduate Research in Writing Studies this weekend at York College of Pennsylvania.  </div><div><br></div><div>During the conference, Ajay will work one-on-one with writing researchers to develop his research project.</div><div><br></div><div>Ajay writes:</div><div>I was brought to the study of writing when I entered a communications arts program in the 9th grade, after being in a STEM program for the three years prior. Once I began studying the humanities I realized just how important writing and communication are to all studies, especially in the STEM fields. While I have continued to study a STEM track (biochemistry), I have tried to put as much of an emphasis on writing as I could. I have taken the writing center internship course at our school and tutor in our writing center. In addition, I tutor literacy for first graders in Baltimore City, because I believe that early literacy is paramount to success in school and any subsequent career. </div><div><br></div><div>This kind of research specifically matters to me because, as I mentioned before, I have grown up with ESL learners and have worked with many ESL learners in the writing center. They face challenges that their peers do not have to deal with studying in another language, and they should receive help specific to these challenges. Unfortunately, tutoring ESL students is an area only briefly covered in the overall teaching of writing tutoring, and I feel that there is a great need for additional strategies specific for ESL tutoring. By investigating into a different sort of strategies, those of interpersonal relations and creating a comfortable environment as opposed to the writing-specific strategies almost ubiquitously described in ESL tutoring studies, I feel this goal can be most effectively met.</div><div><br></div><div>You can schedule an appointment with Ajay and other Writing Center tutors online:</div><div><br></div><div>Writing Center appointment and drop-in tutoring for any writing assignments for any course (1st floor, AOK Library)</div><div><br></div><div>You can view tutoring schedules online and book appointments  using the ASC scheduling system, TutorTrac.</div><div><br></div><div>Click on the ASC Tutor Schedule to check for available tutors and reserve your sessions.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to know more about how to use TutorTrac, download the Student procedures.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

The second generation of the Intel Xeon Phi many‐core processor has more than 60 cores with 16 GB of high‐performance on‐chip memory. We contrast the performance of the second‐generation Intel Xeon Phi, code‐named Knights Landing (KNL), with 68 computational cores to the latest multicore CPU Intel Skylake with 18 cores. A special‐purpose code solving a system of nonlinear reaction‐diffusion partial differential equations with several thousands of point sources modeled mathematically by Dirac delta distributions serves as realistic test bed. The system is discretized in space by the finite volume method and advanced by fully implicit time‐stepping, with a matrix‐free implementation that allows the complex model to have an extremely small memory footprint. The sample application is a seven variable model of calcium‐induced calcium release (CICR) that models the interplay between electrical excitation, calcium signaling, and mechanical contraction in a heart cell. The results demonstrate that excellent parallel scalability is possible on both hardware platforms, but that modern multicore CPUs outperform the specialized many‐core Intel Xeon Phi KNL architecture for a large class of problems such as systems of parabolic partial differential equations.</p></div></div><div><br></div><div><div>Here is the link to the paper:</div><div><div><a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/cnm.3244" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://doi.org/10.1002/cnm.3244</a></div><div><br></div><div>Congratulations Gerson!</div><div>Find out how to become an undergraduate researcher:</div><div><a href="https://ur.umbc.edu/home/getting-started-in-research/">https://ur.umbc.edu/home/getting-started-in-research/</a></div></div></div></div>

    <p><span><span>Your </span></span><span>advisor
    is a vital member of your support team at UMBC. Often your advisor is a
    professor in your major department, but could also be a professional
    (full-time) advisor.  If you have any doubt at all about WHO your advisor
    is, below is a link to the department contacts for all
    majors. The person listed as “advising coordinator” or “advising contact”
    can help you find out who your advisor is, or assign you an advisor.<span> </span></span></p>

    <p><span><span>We encourage you to
    schedule an appointment with your advisor as early </span></span><span>as
    possible. In order to register for Spring 2020 classes, your advisor must
    first provide you with registration clearance (permission). This happens during
    your appointment when you discuss your semester progress and develop a plan for
    the next semester. <span> </span></span></p>

    with you advisor. <span> </span></span></p>
    
    <p><span><span>Be ready to discuss any
    outstanding items or questions you might have from previous advising meetings.
    We also recommend that you take notes; never go to an advising session without

The exhibition represents the first retrospective of the artist’s career in over thirty years. </p><p>Created between 1962 and 2006, the works reproduced online are drawn entirely from the Robert W. Fichter Archive at UMBC. The selection highlights the artist’s experimental approach to examining the human condition. Employing shifting moods and mediums as well as wit, humor, and satire, Fichter delivers trenchant critiques of war, nuclear proliferation, and environmental disaster. Firmly rooting his expressive compositions in a strong sense of place—the surreal landscapes of his native Florida—he presents a singular vision of humanity on the brink.</p><p>The <a href="https://artscalendar.umbc.edu/experimentalist-the-art-of-robert-w-fichter/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">exhibition </a><em>Experimentalist: The Art of Robert Fichter</em> was curated by Tom Beck, Curator Emeritus.
