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. Include someone
who understands the material better then 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 has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two
to three hours at a time. Having a 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!!!
