Hi Retrievers! Despite the weather, Spring Break is fast approaching. And while visions of partying and relaxation might currently be dancing in your head, we at the Learning Resources Center are thinking about midterms!
Yes, the dreaded ‘M’ word! The most recent marker of your achievement in your courses! Everything that you've learned this semester has been leading up to this moment! Are you prepared?
We’re sure some of you have already signed up for weekly appointment tutoring (you can now do so through our Facebook page! Just click the sign up button). We know some of you have been regularly visiting our Math Lab and Writing Center (now in one convenient location).
But for those of you who have the option, have you tried S.I.?
Supplemental Instruction, or S.I. for short, are peer assisted study sessions conducted by S.I. leaders. S.I. are trained students who have taken the class before and passed with a high grade. At an S.I. session, leaders will guide students through core concepts of the course and will share the strategies they used to be successful in the course. The study sessions are informal seminars where students review notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools and prepare for examinations.
S.I. is designed for courses that have been considered historically difficulty. Currently, S.I. if offered for the following courses:
- BIOL 141
- BIOL 142
- BIOL 302
- BIOL 303
- CHEM 124
- GES 120
- MATH 150
- PHYS 121
If you are currently in any of those courses, check out the S.I. schedule to find the best session for you!
Happy studying!
