Honestly, just tell the partner that he didn't do the job right, you both will get a bad grade if it isn't corrected, and then stay on his or her case until they fix the issue. You can even offer to help make minor changes, but not do the entire... (more)
This is totally up to you. It all depends on how you study and learn best. Some people tend to learn more in silence while others tend to learn best with music or some other "noise in the background."

My favorite places to study are outside of the library or main campus hall, where there are chairs and tables of course. I also like to study at Starbucks (the smells and sounds create a nice environment to study in). Find a random, off-beat shop too that can serve as a place to study as well.
