Study Groups:

If you really want to learn a subject, teach it to someone.

The first or second day of classes, you should form groups of three (minimum) to six people who will meet together outside of class at least once a week for at least one hour per week to study, including reviewing material covered in class, going over class notes, talking with each other about the principles and processes covered, and practicing wordstems and diagrams. By completing the accompanying form each time you meet and turning it in to your instructor, all people listed as having participated will receive a maximum of five points per week (max. of 50 points per quarter) for group participation. In addition to helping each other review class material and study for tests, there will be several assignments which you will be asked to complete as a group.
This form should be completed as follows:

1. Elect a chairperson to be in charge of submitting the study reports. At the conclusion of each session, this person fills in the date and time of the study session, topics covered, and questions raised.
2. Each student who participated for the whole hour should sign the form, verifying the truthfulness of the report. Then, the chairperson should sign, thus verifying that all information is correct.
3. It is your responsibility as a group to act as your own “policemen.” If someone wants to sign the sheet who shouldn’t, don’t let him/her.
