Course-Based Support for Peer-Led Study Group Facilitators in a Large Instructional Team

Journal of College Science Teaching—March/April 2018

To improve communication within the instructional workforce of a large organic chemistry course, students must take a required course for all undergraduate peer-led study groups (PLSG) facilitators and peer tutors hired by the Science Learning Center at the University of Michigan. This liaison course focuses on enhancing subject matter clarity and stemming the flow of misinformation that has sometimes been reported in the PLSG sessions. The authors examined the perceived value of the liaison course, self-assessment of course content knowledge by the facilitators, and how enrollment in the course has shaped the experience of those leading a PLSG.
