Getting the most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

   Decide what you’re going to do in advanced.

·       Prepare the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·       Take turns teaching to reinforce your own knowledge.

·       Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individuals study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on q high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and to be a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, them those people are not friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all coast. Whoever said learning can be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

 Choose the Right!!!!

The Benefits of Study Groups: 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 a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together hat none 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 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!

Working Together Helps Everyone: You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you being 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 another's--- and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studing by yourself
