MITT Strategic Plan 2022 - 2027Study Hall
MITT's Study Hall is a place where students can study independently or take a break to connect with others.
The goal of the Study Hall is to recreate an atmosphere similar to that of a campus common area, library, or coffee shop. This environment helps students concentrate better because being around others who are also studying can provide motivation to stay focused.
Details
- Students join the study hall where the main purpose is to study together with others
- Open to all, voluntary, drop in
- For students in all programs together – if the events are very popular, subject-specific sessions will/can be scheduled
- Hosted by an MITT student (MVP) or staff member
- At the start, say hi to the host or other students, and feel free to declare your study goal for that session. Setting a goal for each 20-minute study period, or the whole session, can be very helpful
- You can study on your own, or with a friend or other students from your program
- The host is there to provide support and answer any questions that may arise. They will keep track of time and guide the 5-min break activities. They can provide tips on how to study better
Each session is recommended to go like this:
| First 5 minutes | The host will welcome students, explain how it works and invite students to share their study topics or questions |
| 5 minutes | Make your study plan, set goals |
| 20 minutes | Study period—students stay online and it’s quiet in the main room while everyone studies. You can request a breakout room/table for studying or talking with others |
| 5-minute break | The host may invite everyone to share about their study progress, or mention upcoming MITT events or ways to get study help |
| 20 minutes | Study period—students stay online and it’s quiet in the main Zoom room while everyone studies. You can request a breakout room/table for studying or talking with others |
| 5 minutes | Finish up, plan for your next session! |
The format is inspired by the Pomodoro Technique for productivity.
