Supplemental Instruction (SI)
| Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an award winning* peer-led academic support program that helps students enrolled in certain historically challenging courses. SI sessions are free, voluntary, and open to the entire student population of each designated course. SI's goal is to aid all students in a class, regardless of their knowledge or ability level. In the sessions, which meet on a regular schedule several times a week, students work together under the guidance of their SI leader. Students compare notes, discuss readings and concepts, work on handouts, practice quizzes and tests, and take part in a variety of other collaborative activities. Through tips from their SI leader and interaction with fellow students, students also learn helpful strategies for studying and learning. List of the courses currently supported by SI. |

| If SI is offered with your class, the SI leaders will introduce themselves during the first week of class. At that time, they will survey the class to determine the best time for the SI sessions. Supplemental Instruction (SI) leaders are course-competent students, selected by the instructor, who help guide students to a greater understanding of course content by facilitating student discussion during the out-of-class sessions; and who work to further develop student learning and study skills. SI leaders attend course lectures, take notes, and read all assigned material. SI leaders build their communication skills, increase their subject knowledge and self-confidence, acquire valuable work experience and earn money. SI Leaders earn from $9.75 - $13.52 an hour. |
