The power of study groups
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 to get left out and
smaller groups can 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 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 that has
room to spread out book and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to 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 each week. Treating the study
session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and
ensures that everyone attends.
Choose the right!!!
