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 question. Include someone who understands the material better than
you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand as well, to
whom you can explain the material.
Where? Hold a 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 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 session as
you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that
everyone attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
