DOF: Peer Science Leader (Previously PALG) (S9904X)
Summary, Scope, and Responsibilities
Peer Science Leaders provide regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated sessions to help students master the material in traditionally difficult science courses. Each Peer Learning session integrates study strategies with course content. PL sessions are open to all students in the class.
Peer Science Leaders are students who have successfully completed the course and who are interested in helping others become better learners in that course. Peer leaders DO NOT need to be science majors.
Courses employing Peer Science Leaders include: Biology 101 and 242; Chemistry 107A/B, 108A/B, 217 and 218; Env Studies 203; and Physics 107 and 108.
