What is Study Group?
Study Group sessions are weekly
review sessions for students enrolled in historically difficult
courses:
English 1301 & 1302 ♦
History 1301 & 1302 ♦
Math 1310
♦
Chemistry 1401
Study Group provides a chance for you to get together with other students in
your class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop
strategies for study and test yourself before the instructor does so
that when the test comes along, you will be ready.
Study Group is provided free of charge to ALL students who want
to improve their understanding of course material and improve their
grades. The sessions are facilitated by a trained professional Study
Group Leader and are held at times least likely to conflict with
student schedules.
What is a Study Group Leader?
Study Group Leaders are professional educators who are prepared
to share what they know about how to study effectively for the course. They know the course
content and are anxious to guide you through it.
How does it work?
At each session you will be guided through the course
by the Study Group Leader.
The Study Group Leader will
not re-lecture or give class notes. The Study Group Leader will
not do your homework or do the
thinking for you.
The
Study Group Leader will
help you make good use of your study time. You have to study.
You might as well do it with friends so you can share your knowledge
and figure things out together. The
Study Group Leader’s job
is to help students think about the lectures they hear and the
books they read and then put it all together into some kind of
perspective during Study
Group sessions so they can learn it more
efficiently.
What’s in it for me?
Research shows that students who regularly attend
Study Group
sessions average one half to one full
letter grade higher than their
classmates who choose not to attend. When you attend
Study Group, you will
develop a better understanding of the course content as well as more
effective ways of studying.
When do
Study Group sessions start?
Sessions begin the second week of class and session
times will be announced. Don’t wait until the night before the
test!! Since you have to study, come to
Study Group and make efficient use of
your study time.
What does it cost?
Study Group costs you nothing except your time. Assistance is
free! Come as often as you like. Keep in mind the statistics show
that the more you come, the better your grade. |
