 | Determine the rules you will follow so that each person
will share in making the group strong. Include specifics such as coming to
the meetings on time, being prepared, and socializing.
|
| Discuss the leadership of your group. This person will not
do the work for the group but will act as a facilitator to keep the group on
task. Each week select a new facilitator.
|
| Set appropriate goals for your group such as: Will you meet
mainly to study for tests? Will you go over graded tests and assignments
with each other?
|
| Leave at least 5 to 10 minutes at the end of each session
for brainstorming possible test questions. At the next meeting, go over
these questions and brainstorm solutions and answers to the questions
together. Figure out where in your notes, handouts, and books that the
answers can be found. Write down the questions along with a list of places
to find the answers to the possible questions.
|
| Group members prepare for group each week by reading all
the material. It is recommended that your group discuss what was read. Your
study group is only one aspect of each individual member’s review process.
|
| Take the questions at the end of each chapter or section,
divide the questions among members each week and have one person explain
that section to the rest of the group. The other group members help by
clarifying ideas of the speaker and by correcting any misinformation.
Question and quiz one another over the material. |
