Group study sessions are worse than studying alone
Everyone in my dorm swears by group study for finals. Tried it three times last semester. Complete waste of time. People talk too much about non-class stuff. Takes forever to get through one chapter. I got more done in two hours alone at the library than four hours in the group. My GPA actually went up after I stopped going. Anyone else find group study counterproductive or is it just my classmates?

Does your group have snacks involved? In my experience, once chips and salsa come out the whole thing turns into a hangout.

Ugh, right? I read somewhere that study groups mostly work for people who already know the material. Everyone else is just sitting there nodding along pretending they get it. The snacks thing is spot on too, once food shows up the books go away. I had one professor say group work is just splitting the confusion evenly among everyone.
