Meet - Up
Do you want to make connections with other students? Do you want to meet fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere, either face-to-face or in a virtual classroom? Do you want regular access to students who have done your course before and aced it? In short, do you want to take advantage of learning from your peers?
If your answer is yes to all of the above, then USQ's Meet - Up program sounds like just what you're looking for!
What is Meet - Up?
Meet-Up is a student led program that brings students together who are doing the same course, and helps each other succeed. It has evolved from experiences with student mentoring in Australian universities, a commitment to academic participation in mentoring programs, and the US-based Supplemental Instruction (SI) program.
The sessions can help you understand course content and develop learning skills and are a way to use your study time more effectively. Sessions can also help you prepare for assignments and exams. Sessions are different from tutorials because they are:
- led by students who have previously done well in the course
- interactive, informal and fun
- responsive to your needs as a student
- designed to encourage discussion and develop understanding of course content
- concerned with how to learn as well as what to learn
- supervised by qualified academic staff
