The power as study
groups
Part 3
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 easier for someone to get left out and in
smaller groups it’s easier to get off track.
Who? Pick classmates who seem
to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people to stay
alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s
question. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain
the concept, but also someone who doesn’t understand it as well and that you
could explain the concept to.
Where? Hold study group
sessions at a place that doesn’t have 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 a group
focus. If you know that you only have on
hour, you’ll most likely 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 stay on schedule and ensures that everyone attends.
Choose
the right
