Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of weekly review sessions for students enrolled in selected courses. At colleges and universities throughout the country, the SI method has been proven to help increase student understanding of course material and raise grades. Attendance at SI sessions is voluntary. Students have an opportunity to compare notes, discuss important concepts, study for tests and develop strategies for studying and learning. An SI coach facilitates the sessions. The coach is an exemplary student who has previously taken the course with a grade of A or B and is trained in the most-effective learning and study strategies to help empower students to become independent learners.
