The power
of study groups
Part 3
Guidelines for
getting a group together
Here are some guidelines
for creating and running 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 a smaller
group can too easily get off track,
Who? Pick classmates
who seem to share your 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 that has room to
spread out books 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
time 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!!!
