What is 'SI'?

Supplemental Instruction is a free academic resource built to increase student performance by facilitating a learning environment outside of lecture where students can collaborate and make sense of the material. SI sessions are guided by former students who typically did well in the course and have a passion for sharing their methods to new students, our goal is to ensure you don't feel overwhelmed and ace this course!

The target for SI sessions are typically courses with historically high drop rates and low grade averages. I will host 3 sessions a week where we will congregate on the material Dr. Cohn has taught.  

So, what are the proven benefits of SI?:

• Students who attend regularly (10 or more sessions throughout the semester) have statistically been shown to earn half a letter to a full letter grade higher than those students who did not attend.

• SI Leaders show you not only what to learn but how to learn it

SI Leaders emphasize core competencies that can be used beyond the scope of a particular course, including the ability to:

• • identify the main idea.

  • identify the intellectual level at which information needs to be processed.

  • use an appropriate study strategy at the appropriate intellectual level.

  • exercise time management skills to achieve academic goals.
