SUN is the Gryffindor Study Group organization thingy. Basically, it gives you an opportunity, place, and environment to get together and study with your fellow students from the HOL classes, helping each other with the lessons and assignments. As the tag line goes, to study better, understand better, and perform better in the classes, plus giving us a better chance in the House Points Race!

1. Who are the Leaders of the Studious Un-Relenting Nerds?

The Head person of the Studious Un-Relenting Nerds is Prefect Jonathan Rico, with Prefect Jessie Barren who is Co-Head of the Studious Un-Relenting Nerds.

2. Why should I join a study group?

A study group provides the extra help you need in a class, guides you when you are in doubt, saves the time of your professor, helps you perform better in class, promotes house unity and friendship, and is also helpful in the run for the House Cup. Plus, we've other fun things planned for the future too.

3. How many students do I need to start my own study group?

Four or five interested Gryffindors from your class, but more are welcome. Also remember that there can only be one group from a class. For example, we will have only one group for the class Handwriting Analysis, and not more, for the time being at least. If you need help in Handwriting Analysis, and there's already a group for it, you have to join it and cannot form a new one. This is a rule, however, we'll think of modifying it if there is excess of participation.

4. Can I start a study group?

Sure, just get together with four or five other interested Gryffindor students from your class, fill out the application, drop us an owl, or post in the CR. We'll be happy to have you as a part of the team.

5. Can I become the leader of my group?

Jon and Jessie select the leaders. We feel that new students who have never taken classes at HOL do not fully understand the way most HOL classes work. (We are sure some of you do, be we are speaking in general). Also, most newbies perhaps don't know each other well enough, plus it'd be unfair to allow others select their own leaders, if first years are not.

6. Is it necessary to join the study group of my class? Do I have to join the groups of all my classes?

Not at all, study groups are only meant for extra help and group study. Only join those that you feel would be useful for you, of those classes that you find difficult, or need extra help in.

7. Do I have to be active in a group to pass the class?

Well...no. Study groups are an independent Gryffindor in-house organization. But prolonged inactivity in your group may result in penalization, or eventual dissolving of your group.

8. What do I do if I no longer want to be a part of my group?

You speak to your group, and when your decision has been accepted, ask your leader to drop us an owl. But please be clear about your priorities when you join a group in the first case.

9. Can I send in the homework that we did together?

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT!!! Homework is not a group work thing. Do your homework on your OWN; do NOT expect to submit someone else's answers as your own. The group is only there to help you, not to do your work! The same goes for extra assignments.

If you have any questions that have not been answered, please feel free to PM Jonathan Rico or Jessie Barren.
