Guidelines for Getting a Group Together

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 too 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 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 and that has room to spread out books and notes.

How long? Meet for no more than two or three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you 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 help you to keep a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

The benefits of study group

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. 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 brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that one would have solved 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 one 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!

Goals

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

I think the statement means that we have to take seriously our future and start to put goals in our life, beat the odds and try our best to make that goal happen, words will be just words till you bring them to life!, is the same thing with the goals, we have to bring them to life.

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.

v Think out loud

v Share ideas

v Learn from one another.

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

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

Walk the talk

Walk the talk

 I think the video tell us that we have to walk by the talk, I mean in the way of respect, integrity, discipline, because everybody of us have the potential to change the people around you in bad or in good way, and you have to choose what you want to be a person of right, successful in life, or a person who choose the wrong and is caring the others in the wrong way making them and him/herself loose the goal in the life.

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.” – Albert A. Montapert

The consequences of our choices will follows wherever we go, it doesn't matter if are good or bad consequences that will going to follow us, for example if you've made a murder of a person that consequences will going to follow you and your soul won’t make you stay in peace because everything going to remember you something that you have did wrong!

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 points.

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