What is A_STEP?A_STEP provides both face-to-face and blended tutorials for students. These tutorials are led by trained senior students across all 7 faculties on the Bloemfontein campus as well as the 4 faculties on QwaQwa campus. The tutors themselves are either under- or postgraduate students, thereby making communication easier between the relevant parties. A_STEP sessions offer regular, peer-facilitated sessions that occur out of class and after lectures, thereby integrating content with learning skills and study strategies. The work covered and facilitated in the tutorial sessions is therefore embedded within the context of a particular discipline, which is dependent on the faculty.
The aims of the tutorial sessions are:
• to assist students in applying and discussing content related to the module, as delivered in
the class
• for students to work on difficult concepts with their classmates, while improving their study
skills
• for students to reflect on, revise and dissect the material presented in class from a peer's
perspective
• offer a community of student learning led by peers
Who can I contact to find out more?Students are welcome to contact the Teaching and Learning Coordinators to find out more about the tutorial timetables in their relevant faculties or for any other faculty related questions.
