Student testimonials

The following comments were taken from the Student Evaluation Survey:

Business students:

  • "We discuss the objectives of the subject as a group. I believe it helps us learn better when our own knowledge is expressed to others".

  • "...very helpful in accounting subjects. Not only do we get a chance to have one-on-one consultation but also we meet new people from the same group. Every one helps each other".

  • "...helped me by placing me in an environment that was small enough to help each other out and get assistance with any questions. The handouts were extremely helpful".

Maths modelling students:

  • "They walked through explanations and didn't continue until everyone had learned...everyone there wants to do well..."

  • "[U:PASS] is a cooperative learning environment where it is a lot more relaxed and open and easier to ask questions."

  • "[U:PASS] just simplified all the confusing aspects of the lecture..."

  • "[U:PASS] actually gave me the confidence to do the problems and provided motivation to learn the content so that I could keep up in my U:PASS sessions."

Chemistry students:

  • "U:PASS motivated me to learn and surprisingly it made me like chemistry."

  • “When studying for chemistry I often get stuck on problems, and in personal study it is difficult to get past such problems. However, in U:PASS, the group meant we could collaborate and help each other.”
