Peer Collaborative Learning (PCL) programs

Supplemental Instruction (SI) offers weekly review sessions for students enrolled in historically difficult courses. These sessions, facilitated by trained SI Leaders, are opportunities for you to get together with students in your class to organize your material, compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, and be well prepared for taking your tests and exams.

Peer-led Team Learning (PLTL) is an embedded academic support model that encourages active and collaborative learning in a structured manner. PLTL involves mandatory attendance for all students below a predetermined cutoff. Unlike tutoring, PLTL targets courses rather than students. PLTL workshops are strategically paired with courses that have historically high rates of failure and withdrawal.
