Academic Advancement Program (AAP)
Peer Learning Facilitators (PLF) Sessions
Free Peer Learning is offered to all AAP students who want to strengthen their abilities to think critically and independently, read analytically, write well, reason quantitatively, and study effectively while mastering course materials. Most Peer Learning sessions take place in small groups of three to twelve students. This setting fosters discussion and allows students to listen to, grapple with, and articulate new perspectives. It enables students to work collaboratively, helping them to see that they can rely on classmates as well as Peer Learning Facilitators; it helps students develop the tools necessary for scholarly inquiry. They treat writing as a process of ongoing revision, teaching students to critically evaluate and edit their own writing. PLF Sessions are available for almost all UCLA GE classes, and if one is not available, you may request to have one created for your lower division course. Signups for PLF Sessions usually occur Week 0 of each quarter!
