Self-Directed Study Groups
Do you like to study in groups?
Do you have a particular class you want an extra edge in?
Do you want some leadership experience?
Then consider a self-directed study group!
What: A self-directed study group is a group of students that meets on their own schedule to study, compare notes, and prepare for tests in a specific class. After initial training and facilitation by AAC staff, students direct the study group meetings themselves.
Who: Usually, the group is made up of students who want to augment their in-class study by talking and working with classmates.
When: You and the other team members decide meeting times.
Why: self-directed study groups can help you:
- learn and retain more of the subject you are studying
- learn and apply leadership and group skills
- apply your learning to other areas of study
