[nabs-l] On Study Groups

[Corbb O'Connor]

I've had very good luck sending out a mass e-mail to the class via  
Blackboard asking if anybody wants to start a study group. Beware,  
though, that you may get responses from people who aren't the best/ 
strongest group members. That said, there's no way to know that until  
a few weeks into the group anyway. But, overall, I've had great luck.  
The stronger members tend to band together anyway.

As for making the sessions productive? It depends on the class, but  
sometimes just discussions or review sessions before exams work. If  
there are assignments, coming together after everybody has done the  
assignment works great too.

Best of luck!

Open question, what advice do any of you have for starting a study  
group in a class?  I have never been a   part of a study group, but I  
think it could really be   a help in  managing the work load and   
doing well in a class.  Or would it?  If any of you have been in a  
study group, what did you like and dislike about it?  Did it benefit  
you?  Are there strategies you used to start one in a class?  Where  
did you meet, etcetera, Thanks for  sharing your thoughts, Ginny
