Anita　　 What’s the reason for the learning circle you’ve set up, Hamish?
Hamish　　Well, it wasn’t my idea-the Economics tutor suggested it actually-he said that
　　　　　it’s a good way to make sure you put in the time needed for a particular subject.
　　　　　But for me, well, I thought that studying in a group like that would give me some
　　　　　incentive to study-I really need a reason to learn, you know, motivation, especially
　　　　　in Economics!
Anita　　 Hmm, I guess study groups can give you discipline and motivation. They’re both
　　　　　useful but my biggest problem is that I’m finding Economics quite difficult. I think
　　　　　I need extra help just to understand the material. A learning circle could help-I was
　　　　　thinking of even getting a private tutor.
Hamish　　Private tutors can be expensive-you’re welcome to join us and it won’t cost you
　　　　　anything. Every week we’re going to begin the session with problems and questions
　　　　　from material that we’ve been given in the lecture. We want the learning circle to be
　　　　　practical and worthwhile, so that we all help each other to do well.
Anita　　 Do you think the others in the group would mind if I joined as well?
Hamish　　Of course not-there are only five of us and you know us all.
Anita　　 I’ve been researching some past exam papers, so I’d be happy to contribute those to
　　　　　the circle if I join.
Hamish　　One of the others suggested doing that too. He thought that we should try and
　　　　　identify any trends or common questions that were included in the past papers and
　　　　　that way we could prepare a little better for the final exam.
Anita　　 Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. In fact, I’ve already started looking at last year’s
　　　　　exams.
Hamish　　Great-we’re also going to hold mock tutorials, so we can practise our presentations
　　　　　on a smaller group before we have to do the real thing.
Anita　　 I am so worried about that. I’m dreading that first presentation-I’ve never done
　　　　　any kind of public speaking before.
Hamish　　Well, you’re not alone-I think we’re all pretty nervous about it but we’re hoping
　　　　　that the mocks will give us all a bit of confidence for the real tutorial. We don’t want
　　　　　the group to be competitive-just collaborative-you know, working together and
　　　　　helping each other.
Anita　　 It sounds like you’ve really thought the learning circle idea through-you seem
　　　　　well-planned.
Hamish　　It’s just that when we all met last week to discuss the idea, we all had a list of
　　　　　objectives - you know, what we wanted to get out of a learning circle. That made
　　　　　the planning quite easy. Look, why don’t you come next week to our first circle and
　　　　　you can see if it’s what you’re looking for. If not, well, you won’t have lost anything
　　　　　and you can always organize a tutor for yourself afterwards.
Anita　　 Yeah, I think I will. When and where are you going to meet?
Hamish　　Our inaugural meeting of the circle is on Thursday evening-from 6 to 8 in Ryan
　　　　　Hall.
Anita　　 OK-I’ll be there.
Hamish　　We plan to talk about any material that we’ve had trouble with from the lecture first
　　　　　and then. We thought we’d talk about our individual learning styles. Even though
　　　　　we all know each other as friends, we thought that because it’ll be our first time
　　　　　together as a study group, it might be useful.
Anita　　 I’m not exactly sure what my learning style is!
Hamish　　Give it some thought during the week and try to notice how you study  some
　　　　　people summarise everything or re-write lecture notes every week-others like
　　　　　to highlight the important points or group similar bits of information together.
　　　　　People like me-well, I have to read material at least three times before I can really
　　　　　comprehend it.
Anita　　 Really? I’m a writer I guess-I have to write everything down or I forget it straight
　　　　　away! I use the computer a lot.
Hamish　　See-you do know how you learn-you just had to think about it.
Anita　　 I’ll bring the exam papers and the research that I’ve started.
Hamish　　We probably won’t have time to look through them at our first meeting.
Anita　　 I’ll bring them anyway -just in case. I think this learning circle idea is going to be a
　　　　　great success!
