SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program that supports traditionally difficult courses. SI offers three review sessions each week outside of class that provide a collaborative and interactive learning environment. Led by trained peer leaders who have excelled in the same course, SI sessions offer a space for students to work together to review key concepts, practice problems, engage in group discussions, and learn study strategies. Sessions are free and attendance is not mandatory. SI is available for certain courses. Please be sure to ask your professor if SI is implemented in your course.
