Student should study alone instead of studying in

groups as they do now. Do you agree or disagree?

Overall, I disagree with the claim that these two sides
expressed are entirely against each other. I would like to begin
by pointing out that group study is not exemption of personal
involvement but a combination of independent learners.

In many ways, individual study, in one way or another,

resembles group study actually. From scientific breakthrough to
domestic assignment, we have been gradually exposed to a
recognition that individuals devoted to analytical research
epitomize a small unite of groups. Some mathematicians
without any assistants, when given mission to achieve
successive statistics, have to perfect themselves in all-inclusive
ways instead of only in one academic sphere. Others, such as
students who are supposed to settle on one theory out of
several conflicting ones, usually imagine themselves to be
different groups and then distinguish the plausible from the
preposterous.

Interestingly, independent students can positively contribute to

boosting teams strength and keeping the balanced level of
knowledge. Individual learners are usually possessed of selfdiscipline and integrated-skills which are sometimes absent but
seriously needed in teams. For example, debating competition
is an experiment to test cooperation of four tough and
independent-thinking debaters which they can hardly win
without each players effort and contribution. In addition, the
whole isolated students may compensate the weakness of the
group. Some students may be good at math and physics while
others may have advantages in literature and history.

In conclusion, without suggesting that studying totally alone is

necessarily good, I think it is by no means pointless, in any
way, to encourage independent learners to work as groups. We
should not deny individual studying, because it can cultivate
students independence.
