What is PASS?

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are peer-led review sessions provided for selected courses. PASS provides a chance for students to come together with classmates to compare notes, discuss study concepts, review for tests, and to develop better study strategies.

The sessions are conducted by PASS Leaders. PASS Leaders are students who have already taken the selected course and earned a high grade. In their sessions, they share their study strategies and help session participants learn how to study more effectively. The PASS leader does not re-lecture or give out his/her class notes, but reinforces material covered in class and helps the participants become independent learners.

Research that has been done on the benefits of study groups says students who study together learn two and a half times as much in the same amount of time as students who study alone.

Collaborative learning promotes critical thinking through discussion, clarification of ideas, and evaluation of others’ ideas.

The PASS program encourages students to work with their classmates and to break the cycle of dependency that they may bring with them from secondary school.

PASS does not identify high-risk students, but rather identifies historically difficult classes.
