Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions are facilitated by SI leaders, students who have previously succeeded in the course and have specific SI training in group facilitation and learning strategies. The SI leaders attend all class lectures, taking notes and modeling effective classroom learning strategies. SI Leaders work closely with teaching faculty to create sessions that integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn. During each weekly review session, SI Leaders guide students through class material in a collaborative environment where students discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, practice problem solving, and test each other. A schedule of weekly sessions and locations are available each semester.
