TLC-PALS
TLC PALS events, organized by the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) at İzmir University of Economics, aim to provide students with the opportunity to share their academic knowledge and skills with other students. In these events, students participate in seminars within the context of peer education. The goal is for students to engage in peer-to-peer learning and for those sharing their knowledge to develop their teaching skills.
