Class+ offers free peer-assisted study sessions in specific classes. The sessions are regularly-scheduled, informal review sessions for comparing notes, discussing readings, developing organizational tools, and predicting test items. Students learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together. The sessions are facilitated by Class+ Leaders, students who have previously done well in the course and who attend all class lectures, take notes, and act as model students. This program is modeled after UMKC's Supplemental Instruction.

Purpose:

• To increase retention within targeted, historically-difficult courses
• To improve student grades in targeted, historically-difficult courses
• To increase the graduation rates of students

Students will find out in class if their section has Class+ or they can check the Class+ Schedule below. Attending Class+ is completely voluntary, but statistics show that students who attend on average earn one half to one full letter grade higher than their classmates who choose not to attend. All students, regardless of their interest in Class+, are welcome to schedule a tutoring appointment.
