What is PASS?
PASS is Peer Assisted Study Sessions: peer-facilitated, cooperative student support scheme for students.
PASS gives students enrolled in some of the large core units the opportunity to work collaboratively in small groups with the help of competent, caring, subject experienced student peers.
The focus is on the group and learning together. Peer learning is recognised as a powerful learning technique and research has shown that students who study together outside the classroom achieve better results.
PASS is a program where students work together to:
- consolidate understanding
- reinforce key concepts
- develop effective study strategies.
PASS consists of weekly one-hour, non-compulsory sessions led by peer leaders. All PASS Timetables are now available online.
Thankyou to all those who provided feedback on the PASS program by doing the online survey.
For any further queries, including late registrations, please email Eva-Marie Middleton.
PASS Leaders
PASS leaders create an environment where students are relaxed, can make friends and feel comfortable asking questions. Leaders encourage students in their groups to use all the recommended teaching and learning resources in a unit, and they motivate students to study and keep up with content on a weekly basis.
Involvement with the program also provides leaders with a chance to improve their leadership, teamwork and communication skills, attributes valued by future employers.
Applications for PASS Leaders for Semester 1 2010 have now closed. PASS Leader applications for Semester 2 will open in May 2010.
