PAL groups are small-group (between 4-6 students) communal learning sessions facilitated by a trained undergraduate student Peer Learning Consultant. Groups are available for a set list of courses, usually GERs or major requirements at the 100- or 200-level. The Peer Learning Consultant for each PAL group will be familiar with most concepts in the course.
We know that learning in a group may not be comfortable for everyone. However, we also know that there can be great benefit to learning in a social setting and hearing different perspectives on course content. You can think of as communal learning instead of group work. If you’re hesitant, please give it a try!
Our Peer Learning Consultants are trained to facilitate group activities and we are committed to creating a comfortable learning environment for all students. Please know that you’ll have the opportunity each semester to submit anonymous feedback, so that you can let us know how we’re doing.
