Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a learning assistance program that is designed to increase student retention through the use of collaborative learning techniques. The main format of SI is small group tutoring consisting of SI leader (Learning Assistant) and a maximum of five students per session hour. Students registered in a SI-supported course may attend as many SI study sessions as they choose, depending on space availability, Students may also register to attend SI sessions at specific times.
The SI leader will review the course material, provide test-taking and other course-specific learning strategies for improving individual student success in the class.
SI leaders are certified by academic departments and trained by SI coordinators and supervisors to ensure students receive the best SI help with their coursework. SI leaders attend three course lectures per semester, take notes, and read all assigned materials to prepare for student study sessions which they will conduct each week during the semester.
SI supported courses will include:
