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.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=467

What happens to the students who can't make the study group

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

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

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

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

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.
