The power
of Study Groups
Part 3
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 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. Someone who understands the
concept and can explain if you don’t understand.
Where? Hold study 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 2 or 3 hours at a time. Having
a time limit helps the group focus. If you only have an hour you likely to stay
on task.
When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time on each
week. It ensures everyone will attend.
