Wichita State University
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of weekly study sessions offered for students
enrolled in historically difficult courses. Students are encouraged to work collaboratively
to identify what and how to learn.
Students who regularly attend SI sessions are more likely to earn a higher grade in the course.
About SI Leaders
SI Leaders are prepared to share with students how to effectively study for the course. They attend the same class every day, taking notes and listening closely to the professor. At each session, the SI Leader will guide the students through the course concepts and share the strategies they used to be successful in the course.
SI Leaders will not re-lecture, give out copies of their notes, help students with assigned homework, or encourage last-minute test cramming. The SI coordinating team trains them in how to be effective facilitators and receive ongoing supervision.
Please log into your Blackboard and check your SI Leader's Blackboard course to see the most updated information from your SI leader!
