don’t give him that much impact.

exams are also coming very soon so, time management issues are there and also he is also
involved in an organization of his college so that keeps him busy most of time .
As a example , he also mentioned that he is an introvert so it makes him feel bit uneasy to ask his
doubts freely to teachers and if he cant clear his doubts then he cannot improve .

internship .

sessions can enhance critical thinking skills as students are exposed to different viewpoints and
opinions.

more deeply about the subject matter. Studying in a group can improve social skills as students
learn to communicate effectively, listen actively, and work collaboratively with others.
9. Opinion about Online Group Study
1. Group study provides an opportunity to collaborate with other students, share ideas, and learn
from each other. This can improve my understanding and retention of information.
2. Studying with a group can help us stay accountable and motivated to complete tasks and
assignments on time.
3. According to me , Online group study provides flexibility in terms of time and location.
Students can study together regardless of their physical location, which is especially helpful
for those who are studying remotely.
4. Also online group study is cost-effective as it does not require any additional resources, unlike
traditional study groups that may need a physical space to meet.

important for learners to understand where they stand and how they can improve. Regular
feedback helps learners to stay motivated and engaged.

sessions. Provide opportunities for discussion, and encourage students to share their ideas and
thoughts.

them. This helps to keep everyone focused and on track.

Questioned being asked to my Friend from my city ( Karthik Nair)
As I spoke with my Friend , He is presently working toward a UG degree and
taking a number of online courses.
He claims that studying in a group helps him develop his critical thinking. Group
study sessions can help students develop their critical thinking skills because they
are exposed to a variety of views and opinions.
12. Opinion about Online Group Study
He doesn't want a site where the only content learning sources are videos.
He will benefit if there is someone else his age because he won't feel uncomfortable asking
questions.
Online group study, in my opinion, offers convenience in terms of time and location. Even people
who are studying remotely can collaborate on assignments regardless of where they are
physically located.
Online study groups are also less expensive because they don't need any extra resources, in
contrast to traditional study groups that could require a physical location for meetings.
13. RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS It's crucial to provide students timely feedback on their assignments and
tests so they can see where they stand and where they may grow. Learners who receive regular
feedback are more engaged and motivated.
Encourage active participation: Students should be encouraged to participate fully in peer
learning sessions. Give pupils the chance to participate in discussions and encourage them to
express their opinions.
Use icebreakers: Use icebreakers to assist students get to know one another and to establish a
relaxed and encouraging learning environment at the start of each session.
Set goals: Every session should have specific objectives that are communicated to the group as a
whole. This keeps everyone on task and focused.
