SuPPLEMENTAL INSTRuCTION (SI)
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a form of peer tutoring and mentoring
offered to students enrolled in historically difficult courses. It is an
academic assistance program that increases student performance
and retention. It has proven effective in helping students earn higher
final course grades than students not participating in the program.
An SI mentor (a student selected by the instructor who has previously
taken the course and demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter)
provides students with supplemental information on lectures, tests
and assignments. Mentors attend every class session and conduct
three to five , fifty minute study groups each week at times convenient
to the majority of students to review lecture material. Sessions
normally occur in or near the course classroom instead of in a learning
center. Sessions are attended on a voluntary basis and students are
not segregated based on academic ability. Since SI is introduced on
the first day of classes and is open to all students in the class, its in no
way viewed as remedial. Mentors may also be reached via telephone
or e-mail and provide students with supplemental information.
To the right, is a list of Spring 2011 classes with Supplemental
Instruction. So, take advantage of SI sections by enrolling early! These
sections are identified in the schedule of classes by a note stating “
