The power of
study group
Part 3
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 seen 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 than you and can explain the
concepts and someone who doesn't 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 time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If 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.
