Study groups
Peer supported study groups are free weekly review sessions for students enrolled in historically difficult courses (ie. Accounting, Java). These study groups provide a chance for you to get together with people in your class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, and to test yourselves before your professor does, so that when he/she does, you'll be ready.
