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

"Isabell was such an amazing SI! I have had other SIs who have been great but Isabell was amazing. She accommodated everyone’s different levels of knowledge on the topic and was willing to explain topics as many times as needed. She gave great tips and always had several ways to explain a challenging topic. I would not have been able to complete this class without her.”

“Edie was great! Her review sessions truly helped me prepare for the upcoming exams.”

“SI helped a lot and I wish I attended even more!”
