The
Power of Study Groups

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.
Choose
The Right!!! J
