Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program that offers peer assistance in historically challenging academic courses by scheduling twice-weekly study sessions. SI study sessions are study groups in which students compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, practice test items, and learn study skills that will help in both current and future courses. The sessions are facilitated by SI leaders, students who have previously and successfully taken the course, and been recommended by the instructor. Supplemental Instruction is offered to enrolled students at no cost. For further information, contact ASAP at (219) 981-4296 or asapnw@iu.edu.
