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 second floor of the Main Library for the Fall 2025 semester, except for the following courses, which are offered in the location noted below:
C410 PBB - South Reading Room:
