(formerly E APS 457) Advanced Peer Education

Catalog description

Designed for successful Peer Educators to continue to support teaching, tutoring and mentoring of lower-division students in academic courses and support offices at UAlbany. Students assume roles of responsibility and leadership in supporting other students and to demonstrate high standards for academic accomplishment, knowledge of and respect for the University's resources, policies and procedures. Students should have a 3.30 GPA in the relevant academic area or prior course work (unless home department or office specifies otherwise), be in good standing, and must meet other criteria from their home department as deemed appropriate. Students must be endorsed by their home department and must have a peer educator placement in that home department while enrolled in the course. Building upon the skills attained in E EPL 456, students will gain experience working with peers in an educative manner and will advance their knowledge of academic instruction in higher education settings. May not be taken for credit by students who completed the courses under E EPL 487. Prerequisite(s): E EPL 456 and permission of instructor. S/U graded.
