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 interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Includes someone who understands the material better 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 study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that had room to spread out boos 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 sessions as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

The benefit of study groups:

group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding class material. These include the opportunity to: reinforce note-taking. If your AP biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person bring =s different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none of them would of solve it alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It’s more fun o study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

Goals

“In life as in football, you won’t go far unless you know where the goal posts are.”

-Arnold Glasgow

I agree with this statement because if you don’t have no direction in life, or no goals, then you have no scent of where to go, or what to be. If you have no point of direction in life you have no future, you need to have a direction to know where you are headed. If you don’t know where you are headed then you will make your life a complete disaster.

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you being to understand its better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

Ø  Think out loud

Ø  Share ideas

Ø  Learn from another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson  materials together – explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Walk the talk

Walk the talk

What I understood from this video it’s that you have to be honest choose the right and do what your conscience tells you not what your friends tell you to do. This video is and inspiring video that leads you to success.

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

I agree with this statement because whatever you do, good or bad, will have a consequence in return. If you do something good then you will have a great consequence that’s even better than what you did, however if you do something bad then you will have a devastating consequences. So if you choose the right then you will succeed and get pure good consequences.

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read chapters you are assigned----you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips;

·      Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·      Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest---chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·      Look up any words you do not understand.

·      Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·      Take notes instead of highlighting ---- this makes you think through and rephrase key points.

·      Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
