This advice is for WIUC students that will like to share their knowledge. Group studying on campus is one of the effective ways to study especially when you are in a college where you have a lot to learn and difficult papers to write.
You will definitely meet difficulties getting along with each other, but once you get the hang of it, the pay off is huge! Imagine discussing a lecture note under 1 hour. A lecture note that would have cost you the whole week to assimilate everything in it.
Group studying is profitable, it cannot be overemphasized. So let's get started and see how we can group study at WIUC.
Create a group.
Find some friendly faces in your tough class or just get some friends together. Group studying is a good way to connect with and deepen your relationship with other students in your class. You may never know the benefit until you create one.
Take advantage of technology.
Get flashcards. Or it could also be good to make a PowerPoint of your notes incase you want to project your notes on the white board. Flashcards or PowerPoint presentation of your notes not only puts your notes in an easier to study format than your notebook, you have the experience of rewriting and reviewing the notes.
Find a good learning environment.
Find a good location, it must not be in the campus. If you or any member of the group have an apartment, that will be awesome. If you guys are not going to project the notes, then you should consider the hidden corner at the back of the new block C.
That place is quiet and the cool breeze that comes from the mango tree in the next compound makes the place more natural and a serene place to study. If that place is taken, then you will have to consider asking the Librarian on using the discussion centre at the top floor of the library.
Get everyone Focused
Learning should be fun, it is good that you make some jokes to freshen up your mood. However, you must always remember to call them back. Have everyone focus on what is really important before they start freaking out in school.
Have fun after your group study
Once you guys have meet the set quota of hours for studying, you can call it a day by throwing a little celebration. This is to heighten and freshen the mood of other students who were exhausted from the group discussions.
You can't spend all day in your books. Take a little time to have fun and enjoy yourself before you leave. Make sure everyone have a means of going home. Some people cannot tell you what they are going through unless you ask them.
Create a group of people that are compatible with each other(but not too compatible… if two people are in a relationship they could be a distraction). Always remember to bring your laptop charger so that you will not run out of battery.
It is very important that you use flashcards, it is amazing when everyone uses it. Above all, you guys should go into this with a great attitude.
What makes WIUC LIVE fun is that you are not only limited to reading notes, you can also share your own ideas or ask questions when you are curious about anything.
