Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that uses peer-assisted study sessions to help you achieve your academic goals.
You can find SI sessions for selected math, natural and applied sciences, social science, humanities and education courses.
- You will engage in regularly-scheduled informal review sessions that will help you build your study skills and stay on top of course content.
- You can compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and predict test items.
- The sessions are facilitated by SI Leaders who:
- Are currently-enrolled WSSU students who completed the supplemental instruction with a final grade of “B” or better.
- Have strong academic skills and a deep understanding of the supported courses.
- Are selected based upon applications, faculty recommendations, and interviews.
- Attend class lectures, take notes, and meet frequently with the instructor of the SI course in order to prepare for effective and productive SI sessions.
