What to Expect
All students sign in before their SI session. We don't share your information with anyone. SI Sessions are led and facilitated by an SI Leader - a fellow undergraduate student with proven success in the subject area. When you are in an SI session, you will work with other students through activities to help you better understand the material. You will also learn study strategies to help you in the course!
How to Prepare
Bring your notes for the course and any other materials that you think will be helpful for you to have during an SI session.
