The Power Of Study Groups Part 4


         The Power Of Study Groups

                                                           Part 4

Extracting the most benefit from a session
Here are some tips to help your group extract the most benefit from a study session:
·       Decide what you are going to do in advance.
·       Prepare for a session, in order to benefit from your time as a group.
·       Distribute teaching duties in order to reinforce your knowledge.
·       Focus upon the session’s topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you have learned, deepen your understanding of complex subjects, and even acquaint yourself with new individuals.
Remember that a person who is a friend encourages you to exhibit your maximum potential and achieve your goals, one who encourages you to attempt to try a complex and proper activity. If someone tries to corrupt you and attempts to ruin your life, then those are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them. Whoever said learning cannot be enjoyable? Learning is enjoyable and enticing when you study with others.
