the power of study groups part 3


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 classmates who seem to share their interest in doing well academic. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions, and respond to the teachers 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 a room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours a time. Having time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.
Choose the right!!!
