Research has shownthat these techniques (a) enhance achievement through development of higher-level reasoningskills; (b) facilitate closer relationships among students; (c) promote greater acceptance ofdifferences; and, (d) develop higher self-esteem16. Many features of UTEP PLTL workshops inCS are similar to the original PLTL sessions. They are weekly, mandatory, problem-basedsessions where students meet with trained peer facilitators who are undergraduates withdemonstrated proficiency in targeted courses.
