Supplemental Instruction
(SI) is an academic support program that uses peer-assisted study
sessions to enhance student success in historically difficult courses
at MCCC. SI sessions are regularly scheduled out-of-class review/study
discussion sessions that are open to any student enrolled in a course
for which SI is offered (attendance is voluntary).
Supplemental Instruction sessions
are facilitated by SI leaders, students who have successfully
completed the course(s) for which SI is offered and come with
recommendation of the instructor. SI leaders conduct informal
study sessions where students may compare and develop their class
notes, discuss reading or lecture content, develop study materials
and prepare and take sample quizzes by predicting test questions.
The SI leader may provide study quizzes or sample problems for
students to work with during or outside of the sessions.
Students attending
SI regularly will be empowered with learning and study strategies
to aid them in conquering difficult courses.
