Supplemental Instruction

SI supports students towards academic success by integrating "what to learn" with "how to learn." SI targets traditionally difficult pre-requisite courses and is directly connects to a particular class and corresponding faculty member. During the sessions and office hours you can expect to:

Discuss class materials	including reviewing lectures, course readings, and assignments through exam reviews, practice quizzes and discussions
Work in small groups	focused on collaboration and interaction with your peers
Review test taking strategies	with SI leaders who are familiar with that courses' content and professor's teaching style

Research indicates that students earn higher grades when they work actively with the course material and participate in small groups discussions. Therefore, you should expect the SI sessions to have an informal atmosphere where you and your peers can explore important concepts, review class notes, discuss reading assignments, work practice problems and review effective study skills. These sessions are facilitated by an SI Peer Leader. SI sessions meet consistently at regular scheduled times throughout the week and students can attend as frequently as they like.

An analysis of “gateway" courses, defined as entry level courses which are requirements for numerous majors, showed a trend of high D, F, W rates ("D" and "F" grades and Withdrawals). These courses usually require large amounts of reading from complex texts, utilize exams that require application and analysis of heavy content, and do not require or record attendance. Many students have difficulty adjusting their current learning strategies to accommodate to this new style of teaching and learning. Large lecture halls and class size often diminishes the opportunity for teacher / student interaction. Supplemental Instruction supports these types of courses.

STEM COACHING

AAC’s STEM Coaching offers a blend of academic coaching and subject-specific support tailored for Nursing students. Our STEM coach can also provide mentoring and guidance to other students in the School of Nursing, helping with both coursework and overall academic success.

Meet Maryam:
"Hey, my name is Maryam and I am a Junior nursing student at UConn Storrs. This year, I start clinical so I’m excited to find out what path I want to take, but I am looking forward to pediatrics. On campus, I am the event coordinator of BMA, involved in research, and part of the honors program.

College is an opportunity to find out a lot about yourself so I am excited to be a part of the journey for new students who come to me! I would love to share everything I know and help you figure out what works best for you!"

Meet Maryam in the AAC (Rowe 217) to strengthen your approach to your STEM courses!
