SI will help you:

- Become more confident about the subject.
- Increase efficiency in test preparation and test taking.
- Receive assistance in setting up homework problems.
- Obtain a different perspective on the material from a peer who succeeded in the course.
- Learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together.
- Practice problems assigned with guidance from SI Leaders.
SI Leaders:
- Attend all lectures for the course and take notes, do the assigned homework and readings.
- Have taken the class previously and received at least a B+.
- Are trained in group facilitation and learning techniques.
- Are supervised by a trained professional staff member from the Academic Advising Center (The SI Coordinator).
