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 larger group, it’s for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too 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 in 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.

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

Ø Think out loud.

Ø Share ideas.

Ø Learn from one another.

 

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together—explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s—and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned—you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

Ø Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

Ø Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest—chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

Ø Look up any words that you don’t understand.

Ø Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

Ø Take notes instead of highlighting—this makes you think through and rephrase the key points.

Ø Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
