Supplemental Instruction Overview

About Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of free review sessions for students taking historically difficult classes. While attendance is voluntary, students who regularly attend SI, and come prepared to work, tend to gain an increased understanding of course material and earn higher grades. 

During SI sessions, you will have opportunities to compare notes with classmates, voice concerns and questions, discuss concepts, develop study strategies and take practice tests in an informal environment.  Our trained SI leaders are competent students who successfully completed the classes they lead. Leaders attend lectures along with you and help you integrate "how to learn with what to learn."

What Students Are Saying About SI

“My SI leader was so helpful. I got 20 points higher on the exam after I went to SI. Very happy!”

“Edie is very kind and understanding and her SI was very helpful for preparing for upcoming tests.”

“Cassidy has been fantastic. She is very well prepared for each session. You can tell the time she puts in outside the sessions to prepare because the sessions are structured and organized. She has been a key part in my success with BIO 301 this semester.”

“Caelan was a great leader! Provided helpful studying tips to remember information and communicated well with the group. Anatomy isn’t easy, but good SI leaders like her make it easier.”
