The Power of Study Groups
Part 3
Guidelines for Getting Group Together
Here are some guidelines for
creating a 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
group can too easily get off track.
Who? Pick classmates who seem
to share your interest I’m 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 concept 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 to a schedule and ensure that everyone
attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
