Peer Led Teams "PLT"
Peer Led Teams (PLT)
Sessions follow a format modeled across the country to help students maintain academic success. The facilitator is prepared to help you practice and refine effective approaches to learning.
Benefits of PLT:
- Small and reliable working group
- Structured group that help you keep up with class work
- Better understand material and work for a strong grade!
- More productive study time
- Meet great people/study partners
Why do you have to register:
- Helps with scheduling
- Accountability
- 1 credit hour, satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade mode
- Attendance is what determines satisfactory/unsatisfactory
Seats are limited! All students participating will register for ENG 199 section PLT (1-credit hour) and then will add designated PLT section that pairs with the class you are registering for which is 0 credit hour.
Example: A student taking PLT for math 220 would register for ENG 199 section PLT & ENG 199 section M20.
Courses Supported by PLT: Math 115, Math 220, Math 231, Math 241, Math 257, Math 285

I love PLT courses because they have helped me a lot! Especially with classes like TAM and Calculus, since the facilitator makes sure to break down problems in a way everyone can understand. For TAM, the sessions have helped me understand how to choose the right equations and stay organized instead of guessing. For calculus, PLT makes topics like integrals and multi-step problems less complicated by walking through the steps and making sure we explain the WHY aspect. I always leave PLT feeling more confident and prepared for class and homework.
