Part 4

Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each stud y session:

·         Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·         Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·         Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·         Stick to the session topic.

By supplementing your individuals study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and to be a little better. If someone pulls you down to the wrong trials of life, then those people are not your friends, (they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can be? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.
