What is a CLTI Study Group? A group of two or more correspondence students taking a course together.

Why would it be desirable to take a correspondence course with someone else? A Study Group would... Provide personal motivation. You can motivate each other concerning the course content and keep up on the course work.

How would a Study Group be conducted? The Study Group would be conducted under the leadership of the Coordinator: When he/she has registered the group and received the course materials in the mail he will call an initial meeting to give each member their learning packet and orient them to its use. The Coordinator will be responsible for the use of the cassette tapes and will be the only one to receive a copy of them. All the other members will receive a copy of the course notes. The members will then agree on a schedule for the class schedule and a set a specific time for the first class session. During the class session the Coordinator will play the audio cassette while each member takes notes. At the end of 12 lessons he will collect the worksheets and mail them to the CLTI office. When he relieves the exams he schedules a special class session so the group can take the exam together. He will then mail them in as a group. At the end of the course he will also collect the Study Projects from the members and mail them in with the last set of worksheets. After the Group has finished the course the Coordinator will receive the certificates of Completion in the mail and distribute them to the members.

As a member you will receive a 25% Study Group discount. The reason why is only one set of tapes will be provided the Group, their use to be coordinated by the Group Coordinator. (Everyone will receive all the notes.)
