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 your interests 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 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 a schedule and ensure that
everyone attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
