About Peer Assisted Learning/Peer Assisted Study Sessions
Coming to college for the first time can be both an exciting and a worrying prospect.
There are new people to meet, new friends to make, and the opportunity to study in depth a subject you enjoy. At the same time, you’ll probably be wondering whether you’ll be able to keep up with your studies, write assignments to an appropriate standard, organise your time effectively, and have the confidence to present your ideas in front of other people.
PAL/PASS is designed to help first year students cope better with all these aspects of life at third level. It plays a key role in enhancing the experience of first year and easing the transition to third level.
Phase 5 of GMIT PAL/PASS programme commences in September 2012. There will be 36 programmes running PAL/PASS sessions in September.
