Learning Groups

The exchange about teaching content in learning groups is a very helpful method to delve deeper into the learned material. By formulating it in your own words, you will reach a deeper understanding of what you have learned. Last but not least, open questions can also be clarified in the group.
And of course, learning groups also have a positive effect on motivation: having a meeting with the learning group at a certain time to discuss the learning content of a particular subject increases your motivation to learn it in time.

Instead of meeting your study partner at a specific time in the library, you can also arrange to meet in a video chat. Or you meet for a walk together where you talk about the learning content or quiz each other. Feel free to be a little creative here.

Of course, all meetings also have their “pitfalls”: They require a certain degree of discipline from all participants. It is often helpful to set a fixed time slot for “chatting” at the beginning and then to admonish each other again and again if you deviate from the learning content too far and for too long.
