The power of Study Groups
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 of
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 better than you and can explain the concepts and someone
who doesn’t 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 ensures that everyone attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
