Peer-to-Peer Learning Through Linked Courses

Tracy Nichols describes a unique application of peer-to-peer learning across two similar courses, one taught at the undergraduate level and one taught at the graduate level. Benefits to graduate students included providing them with a leadership experience and reinforcing critical skills. Benefits to undergraduate students included receiving additional writing practice and feedback and being exposed to graduate education and graduate students. Since both courses covered introductory material to the field of public health education, both groups of students were given a chance to explore the field and discover career opportunities.
