The Peer Active Learning Scheme (PALS) pairs up foundation, first and second year undergraduate students, with a trained final year undergraduate or postgraduate PALS mentor to develop academic skills for studying and learning.
As a PALS mentee, you will have the opportunity to discuss and agree with your PALS mentor how best to use your mentoring sessions and what to focus on. For example, you may decide to develop strategies for:
writing academically
applying the referencing style you should be using to assignments
planning and managing your time to complete assignments
revising and sitting exams
enhancing your ability to think critically when researching, reading, making notes and writing
planning and delivering presentations
connecting with additional resources and/or support services at the University
