[MIDTERM STUDY GROUP]

[noasark]

I've only been here for a short while, but it's become fairly evident that many of us are getting 'exam nerves' regarding the upcoming midterms. For the most part, I've been helping others of my house with Physics- but, it could prove beneficial if more of us came together to create a study plan for the other classes.

This doesn't just mean digging through books of course- a lot of our tests will no doubt be practical. For that matter, it would help everyone if we could find study methods that match with our own habits. Not everyone thrives on reading and re-reading, after all.

Who's interested?

So a peer tutoring group?

It's worth a try. Easier to learn when you're teaching someone else.

Something like that- some of us might benefit one on one, others not so much. Regardless, I think going at it like this will benefit everyone- especially anyone who has trouble with certain teachers here.

The staff do well, but between biases and teaching methods, some of us were bound to have problems.

Do you have a plan on where and when this is going to happen?

Originally this was going to be in the Valhudor common room....however, I might have to ask the librarian if there is space we can use instead at this point. I don't think it'll be wise to crowd a dorm common room, especially if we'll be practicing magic.

Wouldn't the labs work? There's usually at least a couple free in the evenings.

That's a good point.

I would still prefer we ask- just in case there's some sort of restriction on what we can or can't do in there...but the labs would absolutely be a good location.
