PLTL Overview

What

Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is a semester-long problem-solving workshop. The goal of the program is to increase student success in undergraduate General Chemistry I and II courses. 

During weekly 90-minute workshops students work together to learn how to solve difficult problems through practice. Workshops are facilitated by trained student leaders who earned a B+ or higher in the courses they support. Our leaders work closely with chemistry faculty in preparation for each workshop. 

When

The PLTL workshop schedule for sections of General Chemistry I and II is listed below.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email PLTL program coordinator.
