What are PASS Sessions like?

Peer Assisted Study Sessions are structured group study sessions facilitated by a PASS Leader. Sessions are designed to review the most difficult material from class to deepen your learning and understanding of critical course concepts. PASS Leaders are trained in active learning strategies and collaborative learning techniques that make PASS fun, interesting, and, most importantly, great for your learning.

Why should I attend a session?

No matter how well you're doing in a course, you can benefit from attending PASS. After all, your instructors expect that you're spending 2-3 hours per course credit hour studying outside of class each week; why not spend some of that time with PASS? In the 20 years that UWEC has offered PASS, data shows that students who attend PASS on average perform a half-letter grade better than their peers who don't. This could be the difference between a B+ and an A in a course!
