What is Supplemental Instruction?
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a semester-long series of weekly group study sessions led by an SI Leader. The Leader is an undergrad who has already taken the class and received at least a B in that course. The SI Leader is required to attend the lecture, take notes, meet with the course instructor on a weekly basis & provide support for students who are currently enrolled. All SI Leaders receive faculty recommendations for their position. This is a FREE program for selected 1000-2000 level courses!
Mission
The goal of Supplemental Instruction is to help students learn how to succeed. Working with faculty in traditionally difficult classes, SI seeks to help students learn to solve problems, organize classroom materials, develop effective study strategies, and meet their own and faculty's expectations.
