I have noticed that I have learnt and gained a lot when involved in group studies, as goes an old saying that Knowledge increases after sharing.
Back home, in Pakistan, during our board exams, group of friends used to gather at one home and pull out a whole nighter… sometimes enjoying hunter beef and kashmiri chai or occassional visits to cafe piyala
Used to practice Mathematics together in a group.
Night before exam used to be much more fun… with all the halla gulla of giving the final touch to the year long hard work and getting last minute clearing of otherwise misunderstood concepts; fights on proving who is saying right or why the concept other person has, is faulty and what not…
So, I found a group of like minded students here in USA as well… combos of Pakistanies, couple of Bangladeshies, and a few indians… We rocked the college library during finals when it was used to open 24/7 … Dunkin Donuts sessions with jokes and songs humming around and sleeping under the tables for an hour or two… It was all same as back home???
What has been your prefered mode of studies… Individual or Group? Why one or another? What do you think each one has good or bad in it?
Also Share your experience of the days? If you are a student, you can still share :-p
i hated group study sessions because diff ppl have diff pace of study and diff areas they need help in, and it was easier for me to just go thru my own stuff and things that i was struggling in, I could go to one of the tutors at the uni to get help in.
This last semester was my first ever group study experience in life and we had a blast. 2 hours of study, followed by 2 hours of ping pong, followed by 2 hours of study, followed by 2 hours of ping pong, and so on and so forth. I am not sure how well we did on the exams but all 5 of us are pretty good ping pong players now.
