Everyone learns differently; you may find certain suggestions more helpful than others. Explore the SOM peer-to-peer resources.
Peer-to-peer support is provided for a variety of courses in SOM, GSBMS, SHSP, and TCDM.
Each student is allowed two hours per week. Peer learning partners (PLP) are at least one year ahead and are paid an hourly rate by NYMC Academic Support for their services.
To view PLP availability and to book an appointment, please visit NYMC WCOnline.
First-time users need to register for an account. Only the white boxes are available. Sessions cannot be held and booked on the same day to allow PLPs time to prepare. Online consultations are available directly through this system. For further guidance, please review the Academic Support Guides.
