[Bridgett]

wait a minute...how is this gonna be organized or structured again?

[Andy]

wait a minute...how is this gonna be organized or structured again?
So Bridgett, this is just a normal study group. We will decide on a place and convinient time to meet and study.
This is a Coalition of the Willing. :D Nobody is gonna organize or structure anything for us. This is done not out of nicety but a need to survive the program. (It was difficult for past students to study without partners and it's impossible for us to do so now).
If you are working fulltime, then you need to find time during weekends to meet. If you are studying fulltime then you will study together most of the weekdays and some weekend.

[Sankar]

I'll be needing help in MTH 9814.
Saturday would be convenient for me.

[Sankar]

I forgot to mention. I can help in c++, VBA.

BTW, does MTH 9814 have any programming involved?

[Andy]

BTW, does MTH 9814 have any programming involved?You need to code in almost every course (lot of programming if you wonder). No programming will be taught in 9814 and you will need to code in C++ and submit your answer. No Matlab, VBA is allowed to solve the problems.

[Sankar]

Where do you all usually meet for group study?

I'm available pretty much anytime during the week. Not so much on the weekends

I'm looking for a Real Analysis study group and a C++ study group. Exact days and times we should determine after classes start and everyones schedules are more set.

[Andy]

I'm looking for a Real Analysis study group and a C++ study group. That would the two most time-consuming courses in the program :)
I'm in for the Real Analysis group too.

Aaron

[Andy]

So Tuesday is the day. But where is The Lounge?Ideally, you would have found out about your team members by Tues and schedule to meet with them to study. Nonetheless, everyone is welcome to study together, either within their group or with everyone else.
The lounge/lab is 6-243. More info here http://www.quantnet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=467

What happens to the students who cannot make it on that day or time? Are we out of the loop? :cry:
Nelisa.

Nelisa.Nelisa,
It is not realistic to make a schedule that accommodates everyone busy life, part-time or full-time. While we try our best to be flexible, there is no guarantee that every full-time student can come to the daytime meeting; or every part-time student will make it to the weekend meeting. Right now, we are running with a "try-if-you-can" kind of attitude.
As teams are formed, students should arrange with their group members to meet and work on their group's homework. The open study group is accessible for anyone who is available during that period of time. We will announce weekend meet-ups right after the first meeting.
Keep in mind that Quantnet forum is open 24/7. In addition to the face-to-face group study, these two mediums should give you enough support and help throughout your courses.
Regards,
Andy

[nelisar]

Thanks for a response Andy! I was just wondering if this is how it is always going to be. :smt102
I understand now!

[RussianMike]

Myself being a part-time student I expect to communicate with QuantNet mostly, even when teams are formed. This is really the best outlet. To be honest I'm not sure of the purpose of the teams, unless, the expectation is that problems will be parceled out, which does not seem like the case if we are expected to do each problem individually. The only plus is for the TA/professor who would have less to grade (not a problem for me). I guess this is the only purpose I see of making the teams. I look at our group as one big team who posts on quantnet :)

[alain]

The only other purpose I see, I think it is a big plus, it teamwork. At least coding, this will help a lot. If you ever work coding in a team, you will see that everybody has their own way to code to solve different problems. A team will give you a good idea of how to work together.
