Peer Assisted Learning (PAL)

Please be aware this time table can change and it takes longer to update canvas - to see the most up to data check out the linkTree or Discord timetable https://linktr.ee/infpal

PAL is back on Campus! We are running sessions in labs - feel free to ask us questions, we are always happy to help. Or sit in at a session and work on your own until a question comes up!

We are also answering questions on the Engineering and Informatics Discord Server: https://discord.gg/9A24kGm - just @pal in #questions and we will try to reply in the thread ASAP.

At PAL we provide informal academic support along with social study sessions to students in the informatics department.
All our tutors are current UG or PG students and have taken the modules before, this means we can provide experiences that helped us understand tough topics along with any tricks we picked up.
If the problem is to do with implementation, we can look over code to provide further support whether it be theoretical understanding or bug tracking/fixing. Do not ask for coursework answers! Be smart and ask specific questions about the topic that can help you instead.
We can also sometimes provide general help with university life - if you aren't sure who to email about an issue or what to do in a situation chances are one of us has had to find out before and can give a swift answer.
One of our main goals is to provide quicker responses than the lecturers, along with providing a more informal and friendly environment - so no matter what the question is please ask!
At PAL we also hold seminars/lectures/workshops throughout the year on topics that we have found useful. We always aim to help and will be filling this site with useful resources, FAQs, and anything else that is useful so keep checking back.
Lastly, remember that PAL members also have roaming hours so even if we aren't on the clock drop a question in the discord #questions channel and we will get to it soon.

P.S. There is no such thing as stupid questions!

Each week there will be workshops running which cover a wide range of challenges. These workshops are aimed at anyone who is keen to learn more, so don't be afraid to show up and ask questions, it's encouraged!
