This is a picture of the study group I was in with Ali and Sam as we were working on the assignments for our English 1103 class. We met in a commons community room and focused on completing our reading annotations for Parting Ways, since we were part of group two. It was very helpful for all of us because it put us in a position to collaborate and share our thinking on this project. We ended up getting pizza and hanging out while finishing up our work, and it was really nice because it contributed to an atmosphere that was a lot less stressed. Being with them helped answer a lot of questions and helped our group get more comfortable with each other.
