‘Twas the week before exams, and all through the night, comp students were coding, with laptop screens bright.

“My code doesn’t work!”, one student exclaimed, “My types are all jumbled, and debuggings a pain!”

“My assignment’s half finished, I don’t know recursion, Is there anyone who can help, not a tutor, a person?!”

“Someone who struggled, someone like me, who has survived the course, and is now free?”

He logged onto Piazza, and his prayers came true, “PAL mentoring every day, Hanna Neumann rooms!”

He attended next day, and what did he find? A place to learn code with friends, with mentors kind.

Learn from this student, come to PAL and you’ll see, your grades will increase, From P’s to HD’s.

PAL mentoring provides a casual atmosphere for learning skills that will make you a whiz kid at computer science. Sessions for COMP1100/1130 run in Hanna Neumann 1.25 at
