Study Groups 

Study groups are common in many disciplines and courses. Working together and drawing on one another’s ideas is often expected and encouraged. 

Work that is typically permissible in study groups: 

• comparing and reviewing study notes
• discussing and clarifying concepts
• developing and evaluating study strategies
• studying together for tests and exams
• reviewing graded assignments and exams

Things to avoid in study groups:

• copying written text, tables, diagrams, code, and charts from other students and submitting the work as your own
• working together on an assignment when it has been designated as an individual activity
