SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION
What is Supplemental Instruction (SI)?
Supplemental Instruction is an out-of-class review session that covers up-to-date class discussions, lectures, and content for select courses. SI covers test preparation, note-taking, and appropriate academic study skills.
When does SI meet?
SI sessions meet in the Memorial (MM) or Daniel-Moultrie Science Center (DMSC) buildings, preferably near the classroom in which the course is taught. Your SI leader will reach out to students in the class with a date and time for meetings.
Who is involved?
SI leaders are students who have successfully completed the course and know the professor. SI leaders attend all class sessions, take notes, and read all assigned material.
Why is SI important?
Research data indicates that students who regularly attend SI earn higher course grades and test scores. SI sessions are collaborative in nature and encourage interaction and discussion. Every student is encouraged to attend SI for classes in which they are enrolled. The sessions are free of charge.
