Supplemental Instruction

What is Supplemental Instruction?

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is geared to assist students succeed in historically difficult courses, integrating “what to learn” with “how to learn” through FREE weekly SI sessions.

These sessions are led by trained SI leaders who have mastered course content in previous semesters and use collaborative activities to foster student success. Students are encouraged to attend as many as they would like; moreover, statistics show on average that the more students attend SI, the better their grades.

Benefits of regularly attending SI:

• Improve your grades by one-half to a full letter grade
• Learn effective study and time management skills
• Review relevant material before quizzes and exams

How do I know if SI is offered in my course?

An SI Leader will introduce SI to your class the first week of the semester; in addition, the SI Leader will make regular announcements and send messages through Blackboard. Keep an eye out for these messages as SI Leaders schedule special review sessions or change time to meet your needs!

You can also see the SI schedule per semester below. Check back periodically for changes and check your Blackboard Messages for updates from your SI Leader.

If your class is not listed below, do not worry, you can visit our tutors for one-on-one tutoring!

Need help contacting your SI Leader, please email our SI Program Coordinator, Jennipher Ambrose, at jennipher.ambrose@tamiu.edu.
