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
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.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
