Study groups have proven to be very effective for students at other universities in Canada, the United States, Britain and Australia. Study groups are small groups of students meeting to discuss lecture material, to work on assignments and lab work, and to study for tests and exams. Students report they find fellow students a very valuable resource when working on study strategies for their course work. Some of the terms that need to be met in order to become a study group leader are listed below. Study group leaders are not acting as professors or TAs, but are facilitating the discussion of course material.
Study groups are dynamic with a discussion format instead of simple question and answer periods.
