PASS Scheme
2nd and 3rd Year student volunteers work in small teams to help 1st Year students in weekly timetabled sessions.
The student leaders are not there to re-teach material; they are there to help you work together to develop your understanding.
Peer Assisted Study Sessions
Dr. Emily Mather is the Psychology PASS Academic Co-ordinator. E-mail: [email protected]
PASS Scheme
• The sessions begin from Week 3.
• The sessions are linked to the ‘Theory and Explorations 1’ module.
• The sessions run on Monday 9.15am, Wednesday 12.15pm, and Friday 10.15am. This information should be on your timetable.
• Please attend your ALLOCATED slot, not whichever one you want to attend. Otherwise, group sizes will be unbalanced.
The PASS experience• Please come along and try it out - your attendance and co-
operation makes all the difference.
• The Department of Sport Science started running the PASS scheme three years ago and there have been significant improvements in the students’ grades since!
• PASS sessions are relaxed informal gatherings, so you shouldn’t feel intimidated or afraid to speak out.
• It will also be a great opportunity to meet new people!
