WHY STUDENTS JOIN STUDY GROUPS

   Desire to be accountable/responsible (i.e. get better
    grades)
   Unfamiliar skill area
   Lack of confidence
   Uncomfortable “fit” with professor’s style
LEADER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
          ATTEND WEEKLY SESSIONS PREPARED TO…


   Review course outlines/objectives
   Help students learn how to approach material
   Test understanding by asking & answering questions
   Help students identify & understand basic concepts
   Help students use and understand textbook
   Identify/explain key concepts and vocabulary
   Share study strategies that have worked for you!
LEADER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
                 OUTSIDE OF STUDY GROUP…
 Meet with the professor at the beginning of the term,
  and as necessary to keep up as the term goes on.
 Submit attendance information from each study group
  session by visiting studygroups.dartmouth.edu
       Leaders who do not keep attendance records may not be
        asked to lead again
   Post a weekly study group synopsis on Blackboard
       This allows professors to see what material their students
        might be struggling with so that they can improve their
        teaching.
   Turn in timesheets every other week, according to this
    schedule.
FIRST NIGHT GROUND RULES
   Decide as group: why are we doing this?
   Set mutual goals
   Decide how homework assignments will be handled
   Tutor/Leader: how available will you be?
   Communication
   Review syllabus
   End of meeting: summary and goals
   Post synopsis of study group meeting on blackboard
CODE OF ETHICS
   Stay out of negative conversations about professors.
       In this job, you’re a teacher, not a peer.
   You must maintain the confidentiality of the students in
    your study group.
       Some Dartmouth students have major reservations about
        seeking any kind of academic support, so it’s important to
        be sensitive.
   If unable to resolve a situation, contact Holly Potter
    sooner rather than later…
       We’re here to support you!!
WHAT IFS…
   What if nobody shows up?
       Wait 15 minutes. If no one is there, you can leave and
        submit a timesheet reflecting the time you spent waiting.
   What if the group wants me to help them cheat?
       Study groups are not answer sessions, and students who feel
        that your job is to complete their work should be directed to
        speak with Holly Potter. Otherwise, your job and your
        academic integrity are on the line.
   What if I want to schedule an extra session before
    midterms or finals?
       Awesome! Check in with us beforehand to make sure it’s okay,
        and be aware that you can’t be paid for more than 2 hours in a
        single review session.

  • 7. LEADER ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES OUTSIDE OF STUDY GROUP…  Meet with the professor at the beginning of the term, and as necessary to keep up as the term goes on.  Submit attendance information from each study group session by visiting studygroups.dartmouth.edu  Leaders who do not keep attendance records may not be asked to lead again  Post a weekly study group synopsis on Blackboard  This allows professors to see what material their students might be struggling with so that they can improve their teaching.  Turn in timesheets every other week, according to this schedule.

  • 9. CODE OF ETHICS  Stay out of negative conversations about professors.  In this job, you’re a teacher, not a peer.  You must maintain the confidentiality of the students in your study group.  Some Dartmouth students have major reservations about seeking any kind of academic support, so it’s important to be sensitive.  If unable to resolve a situation, contact Holly Potter sooner rather than later…  We’re here to support you!!
  • 10. WHAT IFS…  What if nobody shows up?  Wait 15 minutes. If no one is there, you can leave and submit a timesheet reflecting the time you spent waiting.  What if the group wants me to help them cheat?  Study groups are not answer sessions, and students who feel that your job is to complete their work should be directed to speak with Holly Potter. Otherwise, your job and your academic integrity are on the line.  What if I want to schedule an extra session before midterms or finals?  Awesome! Check in with us beforehand to make sure it’s okay, and be aware that you can’t be paid for more than 2 hours in a single review session.
