Peer Assisted Learning in Statistics
Peer learning gives students the possibility of obtaining academic support from other students in a variety of ways. The term comprises all initiatives through which students can ask questions, get feedback and guidance, and expand their knowledge with the help of other students in the University of Glasgow. This project was set up in collaboration with Student Learning Development (SLD). The scheme involves regular organised sessions by student facilitators and SLD training that student facilitators will take before their first session. An important aspect of this scheme is that it’s not intended to be peer learning where facilitators ‘teach’ students course content. Instead, the sessions are intended to be used for students to get together to work together and offer support. This scheme is currently aimed at level 3 students in statistics.
