Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic resource designed to help students succeed in historically difficult courses. SI offers regularly scheduled study sessions where students work collaboratively to break down complex topics. Study sessions are led by SI Leaders, undergraduate students, who have already taken the class and succeeded. SI Leaders attend all class lectures, take notes, meet with their assigned faculty member, plan for study sessions, and lead study sessions.
In the spring of 2019, our program statistics showed that students who attended SI had higher percentages of As, Bs, and Cs than students who did not attend SI. Further, faculty who have worked with SI have found it to be very beneficial for students. Dr. Carskadon recently said of his five semesters of involvement with SI, “SI helps my students do their best. It really works! It adds nothing to my workload, yet it improves student performance—a win-win all the way around.”
At the SI Interest Session for Faculty, you will learn more about SI and its benefits. You will hear from faculty who have SI in their courses as well as SI Leaders who lead study sessions. You can register for this event by completing the form below.
