Muse workshop: Group Work

Another muse workshop I attended was "Group Work." I decided to go to this workshop because I can relate to it. In all of my classes, I try to form study groups before a big exam, but they are not always helpful. So, I decided to attend this workshop to learn and find out tips. Attending this workshop, I learned ten top tips! To start a group, everyone needs to get to know each other which means everyone should exchange contact info. Getting to know everyone in the group helps out a lot because no one likes awkwardness! However, one must choose group members wisely. The speaker told us that we should choose people who answer questions during class and take notes. We should also limit groups to five or six people because having too many people can end up being a social event. I also learned that one should always read and prepare before meeting up with one's group. If one actively participates, study groups will be more affective, but do not be so controlling and take over the group; everyone needs to be heard. Most importantly, everyone needs to be respectful of each other; give everyone's opinions and ideas a chance. Different new points are OK, as a matter of fact, it could be really useful! The speaker also told us that forming effective study groups will prepare us for the job world! Many jobs require one to work in a team, so forming studying groups now is going to give one plenty of practice for the future! Overall, I found this workshop really beneficial and I learned a lot.
