Supplemental Instruction

• Tessa Logan
• Winter 2008

2
What is it?

• Student directed QA in a small group setting
• Meetings twice per week for 50 minutes to review
  lecture and lab material
• Activities and discussion to help grasp concepts

3
Why should I?

• Increased comprehension
• Ready-made study groups
• Less intimidating to ask questions!
• Its free. ?
• Built in study time to review information
• Former participants were pleased.
• Because you love me!

4
Whats the catch?

• We do ask that you commit to regular attendance
  throughout the quarter.
• Groups with fewer than three attendees will
  probably not continue.
• You will need to fill out a tutee application
  (provided to you at the first group meeting).

5
Are there any alternatives?

• Mr. Heyers office hours, of course!
• Yes, in fact. If youre not interested in group
  study (but why wouldnt you be??), individual
  tutors are also available for free in S43.
• If you are unable to attend at the listed times,
  but are very interested in group study, you can
  form your own study group. You will just be
  lacking a handy-dandy student instructor of your
  own.

6
How do I get in?

• Look at the schedule, and choose a time or times.
  (Or discuss with me an alternate time.)
• Sign up on the sheet (indicate Mon/Wed Tue/Thu,
  or individual day)
• Attend the first meeting in S-43 (Math and
  Science Tutorial Center) starting January 9th.

7
How does it work?

• Groups will start January 9th.
• All meetings will be in S-43, the Math and
  Science Tutorial Center, unless otherwise
  announced. A specific room will be determined
  once I have a head count.
• Youll be expected to bring your notes, your
  questions, and your brains.
• If you have any questions, e-mail me
