Classes for which students have difficulty with content, have regularly scheduled meeting times for tutoring. Tutoring for other classes is arranged on an as-needed basis. Some classes which have been identified as particularly demanding have special peer tutors known as Supplemental Instruction Leaders. The SI Leader is a student who has taken the class in a previous semester and mastered the material. The leader attends class, takes notes, and conducts regularly scheduled review sessions.
Students learn study stratigies in the context of reviewing course content.
Research demonstrates that students who participate in supplemental instruction earn significantly higher mean final cours grades than non-participants.
