The Power Of
Study Groups
part 3
Guide lines For Working Together
Here are some guidelines for creating and operating a study
group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it is
easy for someone to find themselves overwhelmed and smaller groups can easily
distract themselves.
Why? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in
progression and doing well academically. Observe your classmates and evaluate
the alumni who are alert, who take notes, and ask questions and respond to the
instructor’s questions. Include someone who understands the material much
better than you do and can explain the concepts to an individual who has not
grasp the concept in order to be able to explain the concept.
Where? Conduct study sessions in a locale that is free of
distractions and that has room in order to spread out you materials such as
notebooks and textbooks.
How long? Meet for two to three hours at a time. Having a
time limit allows the group to focus. If you know you have a time limit the
group’s productivity will increase.
When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each
week.
Treating study sessions with a sense of urgency as you would
any activities allows you to keep a schedule and ensure that everyone attends.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
