Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) offers free, peer-led study sessions for some of our most challenging courses.

What is SI?

• Supplemental Instruction is a program built around peer-led group study sessions. Attending SI sessions help you maximize your student time while getting to know peers and having fun!
• Our SI Leaders are current PNW students who have already successfully passed the course and have been recommended by the Professor. SI Leaders know what it takes to succeed in the course and are trained to review material through fun, collaborative activities that provide more practice on course material.
• One (1) hour of productive group study is equal to two (2) hours of solo studying.

What to Expect

• You should expect to work in small with groups with other students in your class.
• You should expect the SI Leader will use several tools to give you the opportunity to think critically about course content and leave with a deeper understanding of how different concepts connect with one another.
• You should expect to leave more confident! Although SI Leaders might not directly answer a question you ask, they will help you find the answer yourself, which will be more beneficial for your learning.
