Studying for Chemistry is a community of its own. A shared interest to prepare, be prepared and understand the material for an exam or lab is what makes this a community. An increase in knowledge, understanding and grade percentage is what holds the group together. Shared interests would be striving to do well in chemistry and knowing group study has benefits for students. A need is present to discuss material in great depth outside of class. Self values of wanting to be successful and determination are shared among the group.
I am almost a full-time study partner in my Chemistry community. I am an employee of a bank that does not allow much flexibility with employees work schedules, which limits my group study time. My study group knows I am a member and accepts that I will be late to some weekly group sessions. My study group is very supportive to my strict work schedule and even allows me to participate via my cell phone. Knowing that the payoff will be a good grade is what keeps me committed to my study group. Even being strapped with my considered extra time, I devote what I can to being part of my Chemistry community.
