Study Group

Study groups.Whether they work out or not, it's in your hands.

Had one today.Sucked like crap compared to last week.I wonder if it's because this time I didn't say to myself,'This weekend is gonna be a productive weekend!''Seriously,I like yelled it out many times last week and for the first time ever,my study group actually worked out(but that was last week).We actually studied but most importantly,we absorbed shits.I was honestly damn happy with last week.It was like my second one and the first one was like horrible.When you place Yau in a house with a textbook AND a puppy.Yeah,havoc.

I shall list out some theories about why today was so fustrating and sucky.Oh yeah,last weeks one had me,Jarrod,Kadri and Jeremy.This week was minus Kadri.I know ,I'm such a pimp.
Now,for my theories.

1.When I arrived,Jeremy was there and he was studying Chinese so I decided to study history but like after a while,he was like I'm going to study somewhere else so I ended up studying alone which is very wrong for a study group.

Lesson learnt:When in a study group,try to make everyone study the same chapter and subject so that you can test each other.It really works.And, never leave your partner alone and walk away like that.Everyone will be studying different stuff and there's no point of a study group since you're already alone.

2.We studied history last week for hours.We're studying history again.It got damn boring and we just gave up.GAVE UP.I know!How could we?????

Lesson learnt:Always try to make study groups a little funner(?) by lets say,studying a new subject we're more familiar with.When you study form 1 history,you'll be like ''Aww man,I don't remember anything.Now I have to start all over again.''And yet,we kept pushing ourselves.It just got so boring,we gave up.But,after awhile,me and Jarrod joined the Hei Zel/Grace study group.We studied Science and it actually worked out.Probably cuz we're learning it right now.

3.I brought my camera with a picture of flies having sex.Talk about fly porn.

Lesson learnt:Never bring cameras.BIG distraction.



Tips on making a good study group.

1.Bring food to reward yourselves after a hard day's work.

2.Punish yourselves by isolating yourselves if you think your study group is not productive.During isolation,study.When you think you've studied enough,go back to test each other.

3.ALWAYS study the same chapter and subject.At least two of you.And if you're 5 pages ahead,wait for your partner or ask her/him to punish her/himself.That person must've been talking a lot to be that slow.

4.If you find it easier to study something you're learning right now,study it but just make sure everyone agrees.Remember,everyone MUST study the same thing.

5.Do not have any means of distractions such as puppies and cameras.

The word 'study group' doesn't have a definition.Everyone has a different,maybe same definition for it.Some people think study group means getting a few friends and all of you sit down and study and when you study,most of you study according to your weak subjects which are mostly different.Those people use study grouping to their own benefit by forcing themselves to sit down and study.You see,some of us can't sit down so having our friends around is kinda like forcing ourselves to study but after awhile,it fails cuz you just get so bored.

My definition is getting everyone to share their knowledge by testing each other out and all that shits.That's the point of saying ''two heads are better than one''.You think together.

Okay done.I hope we have another one next week but I doubt so since this week was such a failure.I really do hope those guys will read this so that we can all correct ourselves and continue this every-week-study-group thing.

P.S:sORRY FOR ANY GRAMMAR MISTAKES.i'M TIRED.
