Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of weekly review sessions provided for students in targeted courses by a student leader who has previously taken and excelled in the course. For you, the student, it’s a chance to get together with people in your class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying, and test yourselves before the professor does! At each session, you will be guided through the material by your SI Leader, who has been trained to help you, not only with what to learn, but how to learn. SI Leaders don’t lecture; their job is to review the lectures of the week by providing study tips, mock tests, and interactive discussions. The SI Schedule for the Spring 2010 Semester is here!

Hear what SU students say about SI:
“SI sessions really help because they give us a chance to ask questions we couldn’t ask in class.”
“The SI sessions are definitely a big help and an excellent review! The extra practice problems and review sheets reinforce our class lectures.”
“SI gives me a clearer look at the course material and reassures me that I really do know what I’m doing.”
“I would be lost if not for my SI Leader!”
