Group studies aren't really effective for me. I want to study alone and figure out the answers on my own. Plus, if you're studying as a group, everyone's talking. I can't concentrate on what I'm reading. And the day will just end with me learning nothing.

Too bad I wasn't able to experience that of having group study. Someone planned it though but then it didn't push through for some reason. But of course I totally appreciate that kind of idea if somebody wants to have group study.

You will appreciate if you done or do it together with your classmates and friends :D its just like you've been talking and sharing of thoughts and ideas with your close friends and all the funny thing will come out suddenly in mind just to recall the topic being studied :D

I experienced group study several years ago,i have to admit that group study have many impact for many people,but not for me,i love studying alone,thinking quietly by myself,and when study on group,my achievement is usually very low,i love reading,writing and thinking,all of which can be done by myself.

yeah I knew some just like you the way you studied, and also their would memory retention if when we write and speak it out of what we read and understand. I do also studying by my self often times I have group study when its needed specially in case studies we have and presentation.

For me, back in my college years, we also had many group studies especially when examinations are near. But I don't really think they work, as what I had experienced. Though group studies can help you in a way of sharing ideas and brain storming with other people, usually, I had a perspective that sometimes, it doesn't really become a group study anymore but a bonding to my fellow classmates. We tend to chitchat more and there goes all the food trips and fun. I sooner realize that I can't concentrate well. Maybe it depends on the crowd and the discipline you have with each other. It's not just for me. I tend to study alone well. :)

hey, you are right . group studies is the best . i started group studies in my college days . a chapter just complete in minutes. if there are 5 friends and everyone prepares 2 topics , it becomes very easy to complete the whole syllabus in exam days.

When I was a student we had many group assignments and 2 of my friends and I usually worked together. Sometimes it was hard to us focus on the assignment and we ended up talking about other topics instead. One of my friends was very ambitious and she was sometimes tired of me and the other girl because we were very talkative and we sometimes talked about other than things than the assignment. I liked working together in a group and we were able to help eachother and inspire eachother when we worked together in a group. We also studied for the exams together and and helped eachother practice the things that we had to memorize.

I remembered also my friends when we have case presentation in the class that we will assign all the responsibility for us all to learned and can talk in front of the panel, instead that we focus on the case we tend to talk other things and late of the day we could really work hard when the day or the deadline of the case is near. cramming for that but I really enjoyed and I learned a lot.

Studying in groups may be helpful and effective to some, but for me, it doesn't. I prefer studying on my own, in a very quiet place. I can concentrate more without any noise and being with somebody while studying is a distraction to me.
Brainstorming? I guess sometimes. I could join the group but I must have studied enough before joining them.

well all people have own perspective in life and the way we should study in school I do also studying in my own before I will join for my classmate in brain storming and sharing Ideas and really help me to remembered of what I studied. I have also a friend that in the way he studied he like noisy place and have the TV on he have good concentration I think or its up to the person used to study.

There are some who can study well in a group and there are those who prefer to be alone. Sometimes group study can be distractive. Like what you mentioned, students have a tendency to deviate from the topic and would discuss other things.
But group studies are a lot of fun.

Yeah it really works, I did group studying in all stages of my education it is nothing but sharing knowledge among our group, Actually we are 4 in our group so first every one will study one seperate unit and will explain that to remaining ones so atlast all will cover 4 units, like this we studies its really helped us.

Yes, indeed it is the work of the group work that incorporates some of the ideas and thoughts into one thing that is a decision of all. It is also able to share their experiences.

i think they work because every one has an idea of their own and when you are together you get to share the ideas and make them many and it is also fun

I didn't really know if group studies do work for me. When I was in highschool, before we take an exam, some of my classmates and I were asking some questions to each other and try to answer it to the best way I can. :) I think that's really good though it didn't really helped me because before we do the questioning I already studied by myself. But yes, I think I'll agree with you on this that it really helps a lot. :) Happy studying.
