Both the lecture and the reading hold different positions, respectively, on the issue of group study. The lecture's argument is formed around many points that are in direct contrast to the material in the reading passage.
First, the lecture points out that having study group didn't allow people to do their assignment properly on time. The professor also notes that some students stop showing up to group. This directly contradicts the claim in the reading that people obtain the inspirations and encouragement in group study.
Second, the professor also argue that group study promote a lot of freeloading. According to the professor, stronger students tend to carry on unequal work load. In other words, weaker students feel they didn't have to study alone. This argument by the professor refutes the claim by the reading that if students study in group study, they support each other and they can share their opinions.
Finally, the professor concludes by saying that students in group study compain miss time. According to the professor, smart students have no time to review the concepts. Accordingly, this point by the professor challenges the reading which argue that student save the time by dividing their burden. |
