GMU Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) Program: Enhancing Collaborative Academic Success
At Gulf Medical University (GMU), the Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) Program is an innovative initiative designed to foster academic collaboration and support among students. Through this program, experienced students (peer tutors) work with their peers to provide guidance, enhance understanding of course material, and develop effective study strategies in a supportive, interactive environment.
Overview
The GMU PAL Program is rooted in the philosophy of collaborative learning, where students help each other to achieve academic excellence. By engaging in group study sessions and peer-led tutoring, students can deepen their understanding of complex subjects, gain new perspectives, and strengthen their communication and leadership skills. The program encourages a learning community where both peer tutors and students benefit from shared knowledge and experience.
