THE GREATEST SAGA OF OUR TIME

Seats are not an option.   My website – My Facebook page – See me on LINE Webtoon!

this is the best gift that anyone could have gotten me

guys i found something revolutionary

when growing up me and my dad and my brother played a game at Home Depot called “Don’t let me see you while I shop.” The rules were that I had to follow my dad around the huge Home Depot but be out of sight the whole time. This game was extremely fun for me for some reason (we also called it the “Super Spy game”) and extremely useful for my dad.

Anyway, later on I realized I could just wonder off and not necessarily follow him around and still win. This is the story of how I used to go directly into the Home Depot lights section and just immediately dissociate like I entered a fairy wonder land for hours on end.

In short:

me: 

childhood truly is a special time.

The Art of the Study Group

When I was in college, I never understood study groups. Was everyone just spouting answers at each other and praying that there’d be some form of retention? I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand the validity of these groups because study groups were mostly social periods, no learning was actually being conducted. So here are 3 ways to study group.

1. Choose three to six people to be in the group. Any more members could make scheduling difficult and some people could get left out.

Don’t just choose your friends because then it’ll become a social, gossip hour. Choose people based on their strengths like if someone did exceptionally well on the last exam/quiz, they’ll be useful because they understand the material. You want students who are as serious about doing well as you are. Find people who participate in class, take good notes, and have a firm grasp of the material. Also, be consistent with your meetings. Choose the same time and place to increase the likelihood that everyone can attend. Treat the group like you would a class and find a space where all of you can spread out and interact without distraction. I’m a big fan of routines and schedules, so find a time and place that works for you and write out the schedule. This mentally prepares you to study and prepare in between these sessions and to keep up with the schedule.

2. Make a plan and stick to it. Come up with an outline of what each meeting will cover and follow it. Stay within your time constraints.

As mentioned above, my favorite part is scheduling and planning. I’m also a very good delegator. A tip I like to use is assigning people different topics to make a study guide for. This is especially helpful if it’s a multi-chapter or cumulative exam. When you’re dealing with multiple people it is a good idea to set rules and guidelines. Make sure everyone knows the purpose of the group and agrees on what’s expected of members.

3. Google Drive is your best resource.

This is especially true when it comes to making multiple study guides. You can share and edit a document with multiple people. So say someone is having a hard time working out a specific concept, it’ll be easier to help because Google Drive also has chat. 

The point of a study group is to study. When done right, a study group is a wonderful tool for study guides, outlines, and discussions. I’m thinking about making Google Drive documents to aid in studying but reply to this post if you’re interested and what kind of documents you’d like.
