The Power of Study Groups
Part 3
Guidelines for Getting
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 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 belter 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 a 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 reassures
that everyone attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
