PAL Leader views
What our Leaders have to say about their experiences of PAL.
I have found PAL very helpful in boosting my
confidence and I liked the interaction with the students and the
good feeling after a successful session that had clearly helped the
students.
Marketa Molnarova, PAL Leader - Law
'PAL is about being on the same
level making students feel more comfortable and less afraid to ask
questions. We have a different
perspective.'
Sarah Lane, PAL Leader - Bristol Business
School
I did find the PAL training very valuable and
have realised that PAL is not as scary as I
anticipated it would be! I really enjoyed facilitating the students
that did come to the group and could see the benefit of second
years being involved in the first years studies, they
had lots of questions to ask!'
Kathryn
Payne, PAL Leader
-Health and Life Sciences
Thank you for accepting me onto the
PAL scheme. It
was a fantastic year, which I really learnt from. I know now that
teaching is definitely the career direction I wish to go towards in
the future. PAL
has helped me not only in my confidence and leadership skills but
it has helped my knowledge on the subject area and helped me learn
new teaching skills and methods. I can't express fully how much
PAL has helped me
and how grateful I am, but I do wish to let you know that it has
changed my life, and for the better. Thank you for taking a chance
on me, I always look back on this year and smile,
All the best with your new PAL Leaders!'
Sarah Hannam, PAL Leader – Faculty of Creative
Arts, Humanities and Education
I have been offered and accepted a
placement with the Government Economic Service based in the
economic analysis department at the Home Office. They asked me
about PAL in both
of my interviews and seemed impressed by what it
involves.'
