Katia / Mexico
speaker I prefer studying alone, because if I have to work on one particular issue, I stay as long as I need to, studying that part. So, I'd rather study by myself.
Sunny / Korea
speaker I think I prefer studying in groups, because I can find out many things that I haven't thought about, and then we can do some little chit-chats after studying.
Dani / England
speaker Alone, definitely. I kind of like to be in control of my own learning. I feel like with groups, it's too easy to get distracted 1.
Shiloh / United States
speaker I definitely prefer studying alone. Like I said before about team sports, I am an individualist. I like working in teams theoretically, but a lot of times, it doesn't work. My problem is that a lot of the time, I don't study for tests until the night before, so it's difficult to get groups together and study for the test. And I find that although maybe you learn better when you're studying in groups, it takes a lot longer and you get a lot less done in the same period of time. So, when I'm by myself, I'm able to just power through the material and study hard and get it done.
Phoebe / China
speaker Do you like to study alone or in a group? My answer will be in a group. Definitely. Because when you study alone, you need to have high self-motivation. I'm kind of lack of that, so I need a group.
Gareth / England
speaker I prefer studying alone, but I like to collaborate 2 with other people and to discuss ideas. I think collaboration 3 can help you to develop your own ideas and see things from a different point of view.
