  • ABSTRACT
  • This paper reports on the feedback of a case study on peer-teaching activity in a third year university mathematics course. The objective of the peer-teaching activity was to motivate learning and raise student commitment. From the questionnaires conducted, students welcomed the peer- teaching activity and their learning motivation was also improved.
