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.

The benefits of study groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class materials. These include the opportunities to reinforce note-taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to sick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which result in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

You need to know what your goals are in order to accomplish them. But if you don’t have goals is okay it’s not bad as long as you later on make some goals. You make sure they are good ones that won’t harm your life.

Working together helps everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it

the same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

. Think out loud

. Share ideas

. Learn from one another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together- explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s- and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Reflection:

The video shows that if you respect you have to give respect to others. You should always be honest and others will show you honesty as well. In life you should always choose the right and have good manners if you want to be treated good you treat others good to.

The punishment they give you are so you can learn your lesson and next time you think twice of what you do. For example if you get stopped and your drunk you have to take the consequences for driving drunk and you

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned-you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

. Don’t skim. Read all the materials carefully.

. Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest-chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

. Look up any words that you don’t understand.

. Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

. Take notes instead of highlighting-this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

. Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
