This is exactly what occurs when students help each other. In short, when students interact, everyone usually benefits. Therefore, we urge you to form small study groups and to discuss, explain, and argue about chemistry with colleagues in this course. Here are some suggestions for working in a group. Form a study group with two to four classmates.
Study groups are most effective when they meet regularly throughout the term.
Working with others allows you to check your approach to problems and execution of solutions. Often, a classmate who understands a concept can explain it to you in different words than the instructor used. Verbal discussion of concepts outside of class can allow you to increase your mastery of the subject matter. When you explain a concept or approach to a classmate who is having difficulty with the material, it reinforces your own understanding of the material. The best suggestion is to follow the plan above and study on a daily basis, rather than the day or the night before the exam.
