Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are weekly, group study meetings that provide students in select challenging courses with an opportunity to learn and explore course content in an interactive, small-group setting.
A typical PASS session is a 50 minute-long meeting in a classroom on campus or Zoom meeting during which a PASS leader guides the group in studying course material together. A session might include reviewing lecture notes and slides, completing worksheets, going over practice problems, group discussion of key concepts, preparing for an upcoming quiz or exam, and other collaborative activities. The goal of PASS sessions is for the leader and students to work together to study for class - the PASS leader will not re-teach or lecture on course material.
The PASS session leaders are undergraduate students who have previously succeeded in the course, and who have received training in lesson planning and facilitation methods. PASS leaders attend all lectures during the semester.
