Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)
What is a Peer Assisted Study Session?
Peer-Assisted Study Sessions are weekly review sessions available to students in historically challenging courses. Sessions are informal, fun and interactive. They are designed to help students succeed by improving their understanding of course material, developing study strategies and preparing for tests and exams.
Why should I attend?
Students who attend PASS regularly gain a better understanding of course content, earn better grades and learn useful study strategies for other courses.
PASS sessions provide students with an opportunity to:
- Ask questions
- Discuss course content
- Interact with other students
- Engage in fun activities designed to learn the course material
- Solve practice problems
- Study smarter
PASS sessions are led by trained peer educators, known as PASS Leaders. These are students who have already taken and earned an A- or above in the class. They attend every class all over again, then go over the difficult concepts and help new students practice the material in an interactive learning environment.
