Study support

Study group

Do you need help understanding concepts in lectures and want to meet with peers to discuss and prepare for midterms and exams? Or are you feeling confident about the course material and wish to further test your knowledge to see if you are on the right track? If so, join the study groups offered by us, the student mentors at the Faculty of Arts!

The groups will be facilitated by the mentors in an informal and relaxed environment designed for you to connect with your peers. Are study groups tutoring sessions? No, because we do not teach course content but rather help you gain the tools needed to understand it! You will help each other grasp the material, learn effective study methods, and make new friends in the process!

For more information, contact the Student Mentors via email at [email protected].

What’s the difference between a study group and the study lounge?

A study group is for a specific course, in most cases, for a specific section. The study lounge is for all students in the discipline (PHI, ENG, FRA and CMN).
