Successful study groups generally do the following:
- Keep it small--two to four people maximum
- Set regular, consistent meeting times
- Have a set location if possible
- Discuss expectations and goals at the start of the semester (change your group early if it is not a good fit)
- Use an agenda (it doesn't have to be formal)
- Hold each other accountable
- Encourage each other
- Keep socializing to a minimum during scheduled study meetings
- Reach out to the TA or professor for help when needed
- Be kind and respectful
