Learning from your peers can be a super valuable experience, for both you and your peers. This can be true in many situations from studying together, to getting advice, or hearing a peers personal experience, all of these things can help in many ways. Studying and learning from a peer can help you to remember things better as you remember the way someone else said something or perhaps learn it differently then in class, this technique can also be incredibly helpful to the peer teaching as it helps them to remember the information and ensures they know the information well enough to teach it to someone else. This is a great studying technique and I often use it myself when studying for exams by explaining my work to someone not in STEM. Learning from your peers can also give you valuable advice regarding life and academics. Talking with a peer in another major can help you decide on general education classes to take or even help you pick a minor. Discussing your career goals with an older student or alumni can help you learn about careers in your field, network, and just get general advice about entering the workforce after college. Another valuable aspect of learning from your peers can be learning about professors and classes within your major. This can be very helpful when planning your classes for the coming semesters and deciding which major electives you want to take. Talking to your peers within your major can help you find out when certain classes are offered, how hard they are, and what studying techniques work best. This is something that can always be helpful as a student trying to determine and plan their classes, if you want to learn more about science classes at Roosevelt attend SPA’s workshop event this coming Thursday, April 22nd, 6:00pm-7:30pm, zoom ID: 774 757 5833
