About Peer-Led Team Learning at UTA
PLTL allows students to work in small groups of eight with their peers to apply or practice problem sets developed by UTA faculty. PLTL sessions are once a week, and attendance is a key component of the program. A PLTL Leader will meet with the group to provide the problem sets and help through areas that are difficult to understand.
