Study Group Facilitation & Quiz Master

## CONTEXT
Study groups can dramatically boost learning through peer teaching, accountability, and the testing effect, or they can devolve into unproductive socializing. The difference is structure. Effective sessions use clear agendas, rotate teaching responsibilities, build in collaborative problem-solving, and end with retrieval-based quizzing. In 2026, many study groups meet virtually, adding facilitation challenges. This prompt turns a topic into a complete, facilitated study-group session plan that keeps everyone engaged and learning.
