What is it? Why should I participate?

Supplemental Instruction is group study that integrates how-to-learn with what-to-learn. Students who attend SI sessions discover appropriate application of study strategies as they review content material, e.g., graphic organization, questioning techniques, vocabulary acquisition, and test preparation. Students have the opportunity to become actively involved in the course material as the SI leader uses the text, supplementary readings, and lecture notes as vehicles for learning skills assistance. Attendance at SI sessions is voluntary; however, students who attend SI regularly earn higher course grades and withdraw less often than non-SI participants.
