Study group scheduling poll

A weekly hour that works around everyone's classes.

A scheduling poll for a weekly study group: everyone marks the hours they're usually free around classes and work, and the best regular time rises to the top. Nobody needs an account to answer.

How to set it up

  1. Check the hoursIt asks about every day of the week, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, an hour at a time. Narrow it to the hours the library is open, if you meet there.
  2. Send it to the groupShare the link with your classmates. Nobody needs an account.
  3. Find the timeThe best times show the hours most people are free every week.
  4. Tell the groupA days-of-the-week poll has no date to lock in. Tell everyone the time in the chat, and close the poll.

What helps

  • Ask people to mark their usual week, not exam week.
  • Two hours in a row is a good length for a session. Look for a stretch that long.
  • Book a room at the library once you've settled on the time.
  • Next term, make a new one from this template. Everyone's classes will have changed.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.

Questions people ask

Why days of the week rather than dates?
Because you're after a regular time. People answer “Wednesdays at 4:00 pm” rather than one particular Wednesday.
Can we meet more than once a week?
Yes. Pick the top two best times, as long as they're on different days.
Do people need an account?
No. They mark their hours, type a name and save.
