PASS with flying colours
Business and Law have introduced a new program for students wanting to improve their understanding of unit material and improve their grades. Peer Assisted Study Sessions, or PASS, allows students to work in small groups to compare notes, reinforce key concepts and develop effective study strategies.
PASS is offered for selected units and runs for an hour a week. They're led by students who have completed the unit and excelled. Sessions are informal, flexible and based on the needs of the group.
PASS is being held this semester for Economics I, Cost Accounting II, Hospitality Service II and Marketing Research II. Contact your unit coordinator for more info.
