Learning Assistant (LA) Program

Learning Assistants (LAs) are undergraduate students who guide their peers during the class by asking questions and facilitating discussions.  Every semester, a number of undergraduate students contribute to the University Courses as LAs, which also positively impacts the LAs themselves, helping them become better learners themselves.

We are a part of the Learning Assistant Alliance.
