Many students fail to realize the potential of study in relationship to learning and mastery of course materials. Students enrolled in doctoral studies, law, and medical programs have taken advantage of study groups as a learning technique for many years. Study groups typically involve three to four students who meet weekly, sometimes more often, to share information, knowledge, and expertise about a course in which they are all enrolled. The study group environment offers students an opportunity to engage in intense discussion about course material. Effective study groups assist students in learning the material in a deeper, more meaningful way. Groups that are effective generate energy, active participation, discipline, and commitment from group members. These dynamics are all important criteria for learning.
