Looking for a study friend(s), first year English.
Hi, please leave your name here or PM me your email. I am looking for a study friend, or potentially a small study group of folks taking first year English courses.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself and what I hope to achieve out of this. I am a non-degree student, and am taking some courses (first year English, 101/103) to apply to potential programs at SFU (I am 23/M, and have a degree previously).
I am not well read at all so this is why I hope to meet new friends who can join me in this exciting process. I am looking for someone who is willing to communicate with my by email (like an email buddy) and discuss the books/novels which is in the course outline starting immediately. I am looking to create a schedule so that by September, I can have a better sense of what these books mean to me and hope to meet someone who feels the same way. Since I want to do well in the upcoming semester, I wish to meet someone who is also a high achiever and can join me in this challenging process. I am looking forward to meeting you and am excited to have a new friend.

but if you make this study group ur probably gunna ace the exam, my prof last semester expected us to remeber lines from each book, what character said em, and what chapter/section of the book they were in.
I've taken many English classes and I think it will be beneficial for you to have a study group, although I wouldn't really call it that...more like a discussion group :)
As long as everyone in the group is keeping up with the reading, it helps to share ideas and concepts that you pick up. Those ideas and concepts are ultimately what you use to form your essays, which make up a majority of your final mark. Also make sure you participate in the class discussions and take notes, because that is a very good source of content for your essay as well.
I'm sure you'll do great and if you really want to find interested and ambitious students in your English class, try emailing the prof he will forward your request to the other students.
