SI leaders do not tutor. Instead, they facilitate collaborative learning. In the sessions, students get answers to their specific questions as well as the skills to master the course material through working together and using class notes and the text. Research shows that students who attend SI regularly earn a half to a full letter grade higher than those who don't. If you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime.
