Disadvantages of study groups

Avoid the pitfalls of study groups by:

1. Choosing your group members wisely (you should have similar achievement goals but varying strengths and concept knowledge)

2. Keeping groups small (3-4 people)

3. Studying on your own first (because we all learn at a different pace)

4. Meeting with an agenda (bring specific questions)

5. Setting a time limit (this will help you stay on task)
