Although the reading passage lists three advantages of group study, the speaker argues that these advantages are eclipsed by corresponding disadvantages.
Firstly, the reading passage suggests that studying in groups can contribute to motivating students who can not afford to study on their own because other group members can encourage them. This can be true in some ways, but it is also true that there would be a morale concern. In fact, students do not always do their assignments and show up the group meetings. In this way, whole group's morale might be exposed to drop down. According to the speaker, then, the argument that group study enables students to study better does not sound appealing.
Secondly, the reading passage also maintains that studying in groups help group members through sharing and expaining knowledge and cooperating each others. However, this argument is somewhat myopic. The speaker argues that some students likely tend to be free-rider and weak students rely on better ones. As a result, equalty in groups can be broken. As the speaker points out, therefore, the claim that encouraging the group study is helpful does not seem attractive.
Finally, the reading passage asserts that studying in groups help save time and effort for examining information because each members can share their tasks. The speaker, however, suggests that there would be more misuse of time to review easy concept. In addition, students can chat each other during meeting in order to socialization. This reality renders the last argument for group studying in the reading passage unconvincing.
