SECTION 6: Now only are you ready to make a freehand drawing of your 2 to 3-floor plans. The challenge is to merge (mix everything you have done to this point) together to come up with a unique bach design. You are encouraged to think differently, extend your boundaries, be adventurous, be creative and innovative and break the mould. 16

This paper is to inform teachers about the disadvantages of Peer Learning (PL), Peer-to-Peer collaboration (P2P), and Peer Assisted Learning (PAL). By looking at the disadvantages, it will consequently inform and prompt teachers to think about the advantages. The management of P2P collaborative processes PAL and PL are at the heart of this research. 37

Disadvantage no. 3: The ‘range and depth’ of PAL and P2P teaching and learning. 44
Disadvantage no. 4: Close monitoring of PAL and P2P and the rapid changes required by tutors to keep learning and teaching on track. 45
