Study Group Guidelines

1. Items to bring to your first meeting:

• textbooks
• class notes
• reading notes
• syllabus
• questions about course material
• calendar or planner

2. During the first meeting you will:

• create a structure for your study group:
  • select a group leader who will lead each group meeting and be responsible for e-mailing a reminder to other members about meeting dates.
  • plan a schedule of meetings and topics for the semester.
• exchange phone numbers and e-mails with other group members.
• set a time and location for your next group meeting.

3. Things to do during meetings:

• go through the questions at the end of each chapter in the text.
• compare notes to make sure everyone has a complete set.
• have everyone bring questions to ask the group.
• discuss and share reading notes (highlighted sections or margin notes) from the most recent chapter.
• create sample test questions to ask members of the group.
• make a study guide to review for a test.
• discuss your most recent class to make sure everyone has a clear understanding of the material.

4. Places to meet:
There are a variety of places around campus to meet. If you need assistance, please contact the CLC at (804) 827-8108.

 

5. Remember every member of the group has something to contribute and can be an expert in a certain area. Listen to each other carefully to make the most of every meeting.
