Study Groups
The Baldwin Program and the Quantitative Skills Program sponsor peer-facilitated study groups in certain courses, including Biology, Psychology, Organic Chemistry, and Economics. Study group facilitators are responsible for keeping the group on task, helping members understand the expectations of the professor, introducing different approaches to studying the material, and managing the logistics of the group. Facilitators should focus primarily on the process for learning the content of a particular course or discipline and should not get drawn into attempting to re-teach the course.
Study groups help students...
-
Apply the material they learn in a different way, through discussion, note cards, drawing on the board, hearing others' views, and moving around.
-
Practice information by talking it through with other students.
-
Get to know other students in the class.
-
Provide a scheduled time to work on the information.
-
See an upperclass student model how to approach the information.
