Subject: Recruiting for Guided Study Sessions (GSS) Leaders for Fall 2016

Description:
The Guided Study Sessions (GSS) program is recruiting leaders for the Fall
2016 semester.

Program Information:
The Guided Study Session (GSS) Program offers FREE, regularly scheduled study
sessions for traditionally difficult courses. Based on the Supplemental
Instruction model (SI), weekly 50-minute sessions are held using a
collaborative learning process. Students can attend once or attend every
session. Our data suggests that the more the students participate in GSS ,
the higher their final grade will be in the course.

Leader!
