Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program sponsored by Learning Resources. SI provides academic assistance to students in historically difficult classes. The SI sessions help with content mastery and with learning and study strategies that are applicable to all subject areas. SI sessions are facilitated by a trained SI leader. SI leaders have taken the same course, done well, and then during the semester attend classes, take notes, and re-read all assigned materials in preparation to conduct the SI sessions three times a week.

The sessions were helpful in that they provided a student insight into the overall course material. The tips given during the session were simple and easy to follow. The atmosphere in the sessions was relaxed and non-intimidating. - Angie A.

The sessions were very helpful. Danielle went out of her way many times to help us further understand. I am very appreciative and grateful for her aid. - Hector L.

CHEM 1311
The simplified approaches and individual attention was very helpful and I am sure that I would have made even better grades if I had worked less and done homework. Without the sessions I probably would have failed. - William L.

The SI sessions were extremely helpful. I always felt very prepared for the tests. Chris timed them very well - having them in the same classroom as chemistry class right before class - so it made it easy to come. I feel that my grade improved at least one letter grade higher because of the sessions. - Gemma S.
