Guidelines for Getting a Group
Together
Here are some guidelines for creating
& running a study groups: How many? Create a group of 4-6 people. In a
larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out & smaller groups can
too be 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 & respond to the teacher’s questions.
Include someone who understand 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 & that
has room to spread out books & 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 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 to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.
