Benefits of U:PASS
Students can benefit in a range of ways by being involved in the U:PASS program:
- Better grades
- Improved learning techniques as there is a focus on how to learn and study effectively
- Students learn things from other students involved in U:PASS as well as sharing their own knowledge with others
- A chance to ask questions without feeling embarrassed – U:PASS program material is not assessable
- Improved communication skills
- More confidence in their abilities
- Better understanding of subject material
- Access to mock exam questions and other resources provided by Peer Leaders
- A chance to interact socially and form friendships with other students in an informal, collaborative environment
- More free time – some students comment that one hour of U:PASS Learning is equivalent to a number of hours of individual study
