Strategies and techniques to optimize your time in a study groupIn this episode, host Ryan Orwig is back with Dr. Jim Culhane, Assistant Dean for Student Academic Success Programs and Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Notre Dame of Maryland University School of Pharmacy. Part three of this miniseries digs into study group best practices.   "If you're doing any kind of application practice, whether you're in a study group or by yourself, again, simulating exam conditions is key. You want to put a time limit on solving the problem because you're not going to have all day on an exam. You want to make sure that you're attempting to solve that problem without any types of learning materials available. So that means notes, textbooks, similar types of problems. A lot of my students, when they sit down and do practice problems or practice sets, and they'll have their notes and their resources right next to them. And you know, it might be okay when you're a novice learner, and you're still trying to figure out how to solve some of these problems. You can learn an awful lot more from your failures and mistakes, right, than those successes. I think that's a huge part of problem solve." – Dr. Jim Culhane
