Supplemental Instruction is a peer facilitated academic support program for students taking Math 121, Math 126, Math 127,  and Chemistry 108, 109, 125, 244, 245. Specially trained students, known as SI leaders, who have excelled in these courses, sit in on the classes with current students taking those subjects for the first time, and then lead discussion groups outside of class time. These groups allow students to augment their understanding of course material, and to carve out time to review or supplement their learning. Students who have been part of SI report better grades in science and math, better study habits, and a greater propensity to take more advanced courses in their disciplines.
