The
Power of 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 easy for someone to get left out
and smaller groups can too easily get off track.
Who? Pick
classmate 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 understand the material better than
you and can explain the concept 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 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 study sessions as
you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that
everyone attends.
Choose The Right!
