Peer-Led Instructions
Peer-Led Instruction
Peer-led instruction is an academic assistance program that improves student performance. It is a regularly scheduled, out-of-class meeting led by qualified upper-level students who attend the course lectures and facilitate these focused study sessions. The peer-led study sessions are open to ALL students in the class and revolve around the current lecture material. Studies have shown that students who regularly attend these sessions earn, on average, one half to a full grade point higher than those who do not attend. Peer-Led Instruction sections are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics
