60 Chapter 3 consists of people with opposite interests and opinions (10 -3). They feel this can cause frustration between group members, which can lower the effectiveness of the learning process by negatively influencing the group atmosphere. Role of tutor Students in this profile feel that tutors are important for their study success. First, tutors should help them understand the content of learning (7 +2; 51 -3). For this, they do not think tutors require a medical background (37 0) or be a role model (1 -4). They do require their tutors to have adequate knowledge to stimulate their thinking, to be able to answer questions, and explain clearly when they do not understand (22 +3). Second, tutors should monitor how their students are doing (21 +3). Students appreciate it when tutors notice and provide help with personal or study-related problems (11 +2; 12 +3). Last, tutors should not have very high expectations or demands from their students (46 -4).

Without challenge (14 -5) or autonomy (36 -5), these students quickly disengage from learning. Role of study group Students in this profile value active (33 +4) and collaborative (9 -4) learning, as they feel it is a fun way of learning.
