The Supplemental Instruction (SI) Program at Mississippi State offers regularly scheduled study sessions through collaborative learning opportunities hosted by an SI leader.
SI Leaders are students who have completed the SI course and have succeeded academically. The Leader attends the class lectures, takes notes, meets with the assigned faculty member, plans weekly study sessions, and leads the collaborative and engaging sessions. As the Leader prepares for each SI session, the goal is to have attendees collaboratively break down complex topics for the course to aid in preparation for assignments and tests.
The International Center for Supplemental Instruction acknowledges 10 years of accreditation with the MSU SI Program. Through the meeting of the standards set by the International Center for SI, the program aims to see an average of 35% of enrolled students attending SI and demonstrating overall positive results of SI as measured by a higher course GPA for SI participants and lower DFW percentages for SI participants.
The SI program tracks the number of visits to SI each semester. One student can have multiple visits to SI.
