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 for someone to get left out and smaller groups can too easily get off track.
who? Pick classmates who seem to share your 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 understand the material better than you and 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 distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. having a time limit helps the group 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 a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: a big thing that not many will say is to ask for help if you needed it. Its not a bad thing to not understand, it’s a bad thing if you don’t do anything about it. Plan your time out so you are completing everything that needs to get done and leave time to double check. Write things down and have good time management skills. Ask for help is probably the biggest thing I can say though. If you don’t understand , go to office hours or find a classmate that does understand and is willing to help you. If you try hard, it will come to you, I find myself thinking that I would have to try harder to fail than I try to succeed. It is something that is within me to succeed. If  that is not who you are, then hopefully things that I have done can show you that success is something that is amazing to find! Good Luck!
