The power of study groups
Part 3
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 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 distraction and that has rooms to
spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no 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 session
as you would any other activities help you to keep to a schedule and ensure
that every one attends.
Choose the Right!!!!
