Guidelines for getting a group together

Here are some guide lines for creating and running a study group: how many? Create a group of four to six people. In a large 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. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concept 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 if free of distraction and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than 2 to 3 hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more than 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 ensure that everyone attends.

The benefits of study groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class materials. These include the opportunity to: reinforce note taking. If your AP® biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person being different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of another. Socialize. It’s more fun to study with others; the give and take makes it more interesting. And because it’s more fun, you spend more time studying!

Student success statement

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

Arnold Glasgow

What Arnold is saying is that if you don’t know where your goal is than there is no point to your life. You have to find a goal and do it and once you are done with that goal then you find a new one don’t just stop there. But remember always have a goal, always have a thing to do never stay there and wait do something make yourself stick out of the crowd and be unique. If you want a job and that is your goals don’t let anyone stop you, you make yourself the best one of all and you will get the job.

Working together helps everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself.

This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·       Think out loud

·       Share ideas.

·       Learn from one another

In an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from other’s and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Walk the talk

The way I will walk the talk is by doing what I want to. It showed me to have the courage to do what I want to or the courage to do what I can. Also to have the pride and do it, have the pride to do it and not let anyone bring me down. That is what I learned from this video. So that is how I will walk the talk.

 

“Nobody ever did, or ever will escape the consequences of his choices.”

Albert A. Montapert

What he is trying to say is that whatever you did good or bad there will always be a consequence. If you do something bad you will face the bad consequences. If you did something good you will face the good consequence.  So remember always choose the right for you can have good consequences

Do the reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·       Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·       Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·       Look up any words that you don’t understand. Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·       Take notes instead of highlighting this makes you think through and rephrase the key point.

·       Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read
