Subject: group study

Question
Do you think studying in groups can be fruitful? Or is it just futile?  

Answer
Dear Dinsa
Thank you for your question. I do believe studying in groups can be fruitful if used properly. Having someone else's good attention to listen to you think aloud or to check to see if you have learned something helps your learning. Also sharing thinking about an issue or problem, or having others to see another point of view or side of a situation widens your own learning.
Hope this helps.
Dr.Marilyn Robb
