The power of
study groups
Guidelines for getting a group
together
Here are some guidelines for creating
and running a study group: how many? Create a group of four to six people. In a
larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too
easily get off track.
Who? Pick classmates who seem to
share you interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert
in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include
someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the
concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain
the material.
Where? Hold study group sessions in a
place that is free of distractions and the room to spread out books and notes. How
long? Meet for more than two or three hours at a time. Having a time limit
helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to
stay on task.
When? Try to meet regularly on the
same day and time each week. Treating the study sessions as you would other
activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.
Choose the right!!!!
