Facilitate a Study Group Session That Actually Works

You're organising a study group and you've seen how fast they turn into a chat over biscuits. Tell it the subject and what you're preparing for. An academic coach plans a 90-minute session that works, opening with a silent individual recall exercise so nobody coasts on the others. For the group where everyone turns up and nobody learns.

**Plan one 90-minute study group session:**

**Opening (15 minutes):**
1. A quick individual recall exercise each person completes silently before comparing answers

**Core work (60 minutes):**
2. Design two collaborative activities: one for explaining concepts to each other, one for solving a problem together
3. Define clear roles to prevent one person doing all the work

**Closing (15 minutes):**
4. A shared reflection: what did each person still find unclear after the session?
5. Set one specific task each person will complete alone before the next meeting
