 | Gather a small group of students who are serious about
their studies. Choose a subject you are having difficulty with or a subject
that has a great deal of information to learn.
|
| Or choose three to five people who are serious about doing
well in a particular course. These people need not necessarily be your
friends, but they should be people with whom you feel comfortable. Your
friends may or may not be good choices. If your friends share similar
academic and/or personal goals, they might make good study partners. Beware
of studying with friends who are mainly social friends for you. You may too
easily distract each other. Also, larger group meetings are difficult to
conduct and are less productive.
|
| A study group must meet on a regular basis to be effective.
We suggest at least once a week. Sessions should last one to three hours.
When preparing for exams you may wish to meet more frequently. |
