<p>Are study groups usually formed at the dorm level or do students get together with people they know from class?</p>
<p>I mostly worked with guys from my hall freshman year on our general ed. classes, then for later years it turned into people within my major since there wasn’t anyone else in my hall doing the same major as me.</p>
<p>Don’t feel awkward about asking people outside your dorm to work together, sometimes it’s good to get people you aren’t already living with 24/7 to work on assignments with.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. What about peer tutoring? Are the tutors mostly upperclassmen?</p>
<p>Peer tutoring is available everyday I believe except for Saturdays and is available at two different locations (Morewood and Resnik?). Yes, most tutors are upperclassmen who have taken the class before.</p>
<p>Also I believe there is an official tutor available if you are having real trouble, and this person may/may not be a student.</p>
<p>Mudge and West Wing, I think, for walk-in peer tutoring. If you want an individual tutor, it can be possible to get one by talking to the people at Academic Development or possibly your advisor, if you’re having real trouble in a class. There are also (completely optional) review sessions one or two nights a week for some of the big freshman classes like physics I and II, called Supplementary Instruction. Don’t forget that you can always go to TA and professor office hours. TAs get lonely when no one ever goes to see them, and typically like it when students show up. :)</p>
