What students love about PASS
- Helped me to absorb the content better and I liked interacting with other people in my course. The PASS leaders were also very friendly and made me feel comfortable to ask questions that I would usually be too nervous to ask.
- Online was great because it gave me more confidence to answer questions without being judged for getting answers wrong.
- I like that they provide a way to solidify and practice the content that was taught in the lectures and fill in any gaps (e.g. knew the formula but didn't know how to apply it).
- Relaxed learning environment.
- Quiz and Exam Busters — great for revision and confidence!
- Kept me on track with weekly content.
- Easier to ask questions since the PASS leaders are students so easier to relate to.
- Leaders helped pick out the important things we need to focus on.
- The activities were great – charts and tables we filled in were a great way of compartmentalising content.
- Summarising the content helped me find (and repair) holes in my understanding.
