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 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. Includes 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 had room
to spread out boos 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
to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study
sessions as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and
ensures that everyone attends.
CHOOSE
THE RIGHT!!
