Designed to promote collaborative learning, SI is an interactive
program facilitated by a student who has previously done well in the
class. SI review sessions focus on both course content and study strategies.
The sessions are student-run and student-driven and the names of participants
are kept confidential. You get involved in your own learning and collaborate
on strategies that work for the course material.
