Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what exactly to do in a study group? I have the general idea, just want to make sure we're not doing anything we shouldn't be/not doing things we should be.

(Please, no need for the study groups are a waste of time responses, I'm dedicating a very minimal amount of time to this, which is acceptable to me)

Thanks

To me, you shouldn't sleep with ppl in your study group, but it's just me.

On a serious note, how can we tell you what you need to know without you telling us what you already know?

But, how can he tell us what he knows without knowing what we know that he needs to know but doesn't know?

I am afraid what I know is what he knows, and thus, make what I tell him he needs to know redundant to what he already knows.

this is obviously relevant...

The key to a study group is finding people who are smarter than you. Beyond that, whatever works.

what if you are obviously the smartest person in your class?

It's hard to figure out who is actually smart.

Then I just study alone!

Seriously though... even the brightest people benefit from discussing their ideas with somebody else. It's essential to making sure that you are on the right track and aren't missing anything. But, if you are more intelligent than the other students, they won't be much help with this. So... go to the professors' office hours! Talk to them. 10 minutes talking to your professor can be more enlightening than 4 hours talking to a group of idiots in your class.

Another strategy: Talk law to random strangers. It's kinda like House, in that episode where he was on an airplane and he didn't have his team, but he needed to bounce ideas off someone to help him think, so he picked random people on the plane and asked them medical questions, just to get the ball rolling.

Tip: Go up to random people on the street and say, "You! When is an agreement legally binding? What is the policy reasoning behind the doctrine of consideration?"

Pretty sure go to office hours will accomplish the bold statement. And I laugh hard at the tip part. Can I study with you?

Sorry.... no. Not unless you are as smart as I am!

Are you??

Just discuss stuff, don't distribute work load.

Seems like solid advice to me.

Those last few quotes are rife with innuendo.

I do not know how to reject to help other people ...Help me ...
I have to use nearly one or two hour to answer all kinds of question for my classmate.(at less ten persons ...)
Their questions are totally foolish ,they just did not read the case at all or they can not understand what professor means ....btw ,they did not read any supplement , brief case or google it ....
I do not want to borrow my outline to them in final exam (most of them have not idea about what outline is ), what should I do ..

Start by being less of a douche.

Also, learn how to use proper grammar.

And learn proper definition (?)
