Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction is a series of weekly review sessions for students taking historically difficult courses. SI is provided for all students who want to improve their understanding of course material and improve their grades.
Attendance at sessions is voluntary and completely FREE. For you the student, it is a chance to get together with people in your class to do the following:
- compare notes
- discuss important concepts
- develop strategies for studying the subject
- test yourself before your professor does so you’ll be ready
At each session students are guided by an SI Leader, a successful student who has previously taken the course.
The SI Leaders are guided by SI Coordinators and the Undergraduate Success Program Director.
How do I know if my class is “historically difficult”?
During the first or second week of classes each semester, your SI Leader will introduce himself or herself in class. This will be your indication that SI is available for you. SI review sessions will then start in the second or third week of classes. Come early, come often!
