How to be an SI Leader
Supplemental Instruction (SI) teaches students to do
what successful students have known how to do since the Renaissance – to
effectively study in groups.
The participating professor helps to choose a model
student who has previously done well in the course. This student is then
hired as an SI Leader to attend all class meetings, read the assigned
material again, and lead three voluntary study sessions per week,
facilitating review of notes and discussion of class material, and
modeling the study skills needed to handle the particular subject
matter.
Students learn more than the subject material – they learn how to form
effective study groups and gain skills that will help them excel in a
wide variety of courses across the campus. SI can help all students more
fully understand course material and, consequently, achieve better
grades.
Students
gather for a
Supplemental Instruction test review session.
