The Peer Led Team Learning Model utilizes peer-led group activities among students to enhance student understanding of science and engineering topics. PLTL provides an active learning environment that creates leadership roles for undergraduates and engages faculty in a creative and revolutionary new method of teaching. Visit the national PLTL website [1] for more information.
Distribution of Exam Grades
| Section | No PLTL (N) | PLTL (N) | Ave grade no PLTL | Ave grade PLTL | Standard deviation | Effect size |
| Fall 2008 (F01 & F02) | 117 | 130 | 69.2 | 78.4 | 17.3 | 0.53 |
| Fall 2008 (F03) | 33 | 33 | 69.8 | 83.5 | 17.5 | 0.78 |
| Spring 2009 (S01) | 82 | 79 | 75.3 | 78.6 | 14.1 | 0.23 |
Effect size definition: (average score PLTL – average score without PLTL)/(standard deviation of whole class)
Effect size results: 0= no difference; <0.1 trivial; 0.1-0.3 small effect; 0.3-0.5 moderate; > 0.5 large effect
