Bring all relevant material to the peer learning session (e.g., textbook, lecture notes, assignments, lab books, paper drafts, past tests).
Do the assigned reading and homework before the sessions.
Set reasonable goals for both short- and long-term work. Write them down. Share them with your PLA and revise, if necessary.
Have specific concepts or questions ready to discuss with the PLA.

Ask the PLA to explain not only specific concepts but also how they study for similar courses.
Stop the PLA if they are going too fast or telling you too much.
Do not expect the PLA to tell you the answer or to do your work.
Don’t be afraid to say, “I still don’t get it, let’s do it again.”
Review the material on your own soon after the session.
Talk with other students and consider participating in a study group.
