The Power of
Study Groups
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 to get left out and
smaller groups can 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. Include someone who understands 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 to
meet regularly on the same day and time each week. Treating the study session
as you would other activities helps you to keep a schedule and ensures that
everyone attends.
Choose The
Right!
