PEER ASSISTED LEARNING

Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) was introduced by Galway-Mayo Institute and Athlone Institute of Technology (our SIF II partner) in January 2009.

PAL is a scheme that offers cross-year support between students on the same programme. It encourages first year students to support each other and learn co-operatively under the guidance of a trained student from the second, third, or fourth years of your programme. 

PAL aims to help first year students:

• quickly adjust to college life

• improve their learning and study skills

• enhance their understanding of the subject matter of their programmes

• prepare better for assignments and exams
