Supplemental Instruction (SI) Classes (Tutoring)

What is an Supplemental Instruction leader?

SI leaders are students themselves and are prepared to share what they have learned over the years about how to study.

They know the course content and are anxious to help guide students through it. They’ll be in class every day, hearing what students hear and reading what students read. What they won’t do is lecture; their job is to help students think about the lectures and readings, and then put it all together during the SI review sessions. SI can help students learn course material more efficiently.

When do Supplemental Instruction review sessions start?

SI sessions start the first day of class. Students can attend one or all sessions, and each one will be different depending on course material. SI review sessions are informal. Students may bring their notes, textbooks and questions.

How do students enroll in an Supplemental Instruction course?

On the academic schedule students can identify SI courses by their section designation which ends with “SI”, for example CRN: 1234, MAT120-SI. For more information on how students can register in an SI class, please contact an Academic Advisor.
