Pros

Most professors understand that your schedule is busy and that classes come first, so they try to work around it.

Cons

It's up to you to make sure that you don't get stuck doing only administrative tasks and also have a chance to do some meaningful analyses. Just talk to your professor and be truthful about your knowledge of statistical software.

Working with students is satisfying and fulfilling. It also helps yourself retain information you have learned from past courses.

The Peer Learning Unit is poorly managed, and it is difficult to communicate with your supervisors.
