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 to get left out and smaller groups can easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share you 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 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 distraction and that has rooms to spread out books and notes. how long? meet for no more than two to 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 helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends. 
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!!
