Offered through the Department of Biomedical Sciences in the School of Engineering and Technology, the position of a student-leader consists of directing students every week in a workshop or lab format (depending on the class). Peer-Led Team Learning is based on the teaching principle of redirection; asking questions to guide students towards a solution through their own problem solving skills. The goal is to teach student how to think about and approach difficult problems. Students meet weekly with instructor and other leaders to review problem sets related to each specific course and participate in group activities designed to develop skills in redirection, managing group dynamics, engaging students in self-reflection, and troubleshooting. Leaders meet with students once a week in small group problem solving sessions.
