Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a free resource that helps you figure out how to be successful in your course. You’ll meet with a fellow student (the SI Leader) who did well in the course. The SI Leader will facilitate activities to help you better understand the course material and how to study smarter. You will compare notes with other students, get organized, and predict and prepare for test questions. The SI Leader attends all class lectures and takes notes, so you can be sure that they know what’s going on in your class and is working with the professor. The sessions are informal, and you can attend as many sessions as you like.
SI sessions will be offered in-person in the Academic Resource Center (ARC) on the ground floor of the IMU for the Spring 2024 semester, except for ENGR:2110 & MATH:1560. Sessions begin on Sunday, January 21, 2024 and go through Friday, May 3, 2024. There will be no sessions during spring break (Sunday, March 10-Sunday, March 17) or during finals week (Sunday, May 5-Friday, May 10). The full SI session schedule can be downloaded here: Spring 2024 SI Session Schedule! SI session days & times for individual courses can be found on each course's SI page within Tutor Iowa (see links below).
