"Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand."
The Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) scheme involves higher-year students supporting lower-year students with their studies in small groups across an academic programme or module. It is discipline-owned and student-led. PASS is part of a recognised National and International Network. The Academic Skills Centre works in conjunction with academic colleagues to implement PASS in different disciplines.
