Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·       Decide what you are going to do in advanced.

·       Prepare for the session, so you can make the most out of your time together.

·       Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge. Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you've learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends are not friends, and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

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.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If your AP® Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or captivity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which result in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying.

Choose the Right

walk the talk

Not to be messed up, but this video was boring. They didn’t even talk or walk. The only thing I like about the video was that it had really nice pictures. It also was boring because it kept showing words and words. My point is that this video was really boring!!!
