GSS Leaders facilitate group study sessions for selected UM courses. The leader, who has previously performed well in the course (B+ or better), functions as a "model student." GSS leaders need to be able to attend the Biology, Chemistry, Math or Physics course for which they would be a session leader. The leader holds review sessions for all interested students to formulate and discover answers to their questions by using collaborative and group study strategies. Training is provided to GSS leaders throughout their time with the program.
First semester GSS leader requirements:
After completing the requirements of EDCP318N, GSS leaders are eligible to receive a paid stipend in their second semester of GSS service.
