Peer-assisted study sessions are designed to help you succeed in some of UWEC’s most challenging courses. Led by a peer who excelled in the course, study sessions use effective learning strategies to help deepen your understanding of difficult course concepts in a friendly and supportive environment. Study sessions include group work, practice problems, concept review, small group discussions, exam preparation, and opportunities for student questions.
Courses Offered
Peer-assisted study sessions are held twice every week for select courses and sections.
Study sessions are led by high-achieving UWEC students who successfully completed the course in a prior semester and are attending lectures again this semester. Study session leaders know what is currently being covered in class and what will likely be on the next exam. They are trained by BLC staff in active learning strategies and collaborative learning techniques that make study sessions engaging and effective.
Accountability: Building study sessions into your weekly routine guarantees that you are keeping up with the course. Studying regularly is much more effective than cramming before a test.
Community: Study sessions offer an opportunity to make friends with classmates and learn together.
Improved Grades: Students who attend study sessions generally earn better grades than those who do not.
No need! All study sessions are on a drop-in basis, meaning you don’t need to sign up beforehand. If study sessions are paired with your course, your study session leader will post information about meeting times and locations on your Canvas page.
Yes! Each study session leader holds a drop-in hour once a week. Drop-in hours provide an opportunity for students to ask questions and discuss course content with the study session leader, either 1-on-1 or with a small group. Study session leaders will post information about their drop-in hour on your Canvas page.
