New for the Spring 2025 Semester: Peer Study Groups!
At its core, Peer Study Groups is set, dedicated time to work on homework, study for an upcoming test, study with peers, etc. Peer Study Groups will give you the opportunity to experience the benefits of study groups (accountability, study buddy, etc.), while learning study techniques, time management practices, test prep, and more. A peer assistant will introduce a study technique or time management technique and then you will have study time to work on your academics. Sign up with your classmates and friends. This is a requirement for students enrolled in WVUe 189, but open to all students!
How it Works
- Learn how to sign up for Peer Study Groups here. Walk-ins will be accepted only if there is availability in the session.
- Arrive early (about 10-15 minutes) and get checked in by a Peer Assistant.
- Peer Assistant will Introduce study technique, time management, etc. for the day.
- Roughly five minutes for intro to technique
- Peer Assistant will manage the study session using the Pomodoro Method
- 25 minutes work, 5-minute break (x2)
- It is imperative that you arrive on time as the study group requires the full hour of your time. Late arrivals will attend the next session the following hour.
- If you are participating as part of WVUe 189 and you leave early (before the hour is up), you will not receive credit for the session.
