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 to get left out and smaller groups can
easily get off track.
Who? Pick classmates who seem
to share you 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 better than you can
explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand as well, to whom you
can explain the material.
where? hold study group
sessions in place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out
books and notes. how long? meet for no more than two or 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 studdy session s you would
other activities helps you to keep a schedule and ensures that everyone
attends.
Choose the right.
