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 for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily
get off track.
Who? Pick a classmate who seems 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 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 sessions as you would other activities helps you to
keep a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
