Guidelines for getting a group together
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 easily get off track.
Who? Pick classmate
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 than 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 time limit helps the
group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on
task.
When? Try meet
regularly, on the same day and time each week.
Treating the
study session as you would other activates helps you to keep to a schedule and
ensures that everyone attends.
