Body
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of weekly review sessions for students taking historically difficult courses. SI is provided for all students who want to improve their understanding of course material and improve their grades.
• Participation is voluntary, free, and open to all students.
• SI can help students develop essential academic and learning skills in their courses.
• SI sessions begin during the first or second week of the quarter, before students encounter academic difficulties.
• SI Leaders do not lecture. Instead they direct collaborative learning exercises that encourage students to take responsibility for processing course content.
• In schools across the world, SI students earn higher final course grades and withdraw less often than non-SI participants.
