FAQs:

What will I be asked to do at SI?

You will be encouraged to participate! Students learn better when they actively engage with the material by talking and doing instead of just passively listening.

Absolutely! Just be aware that each SI Leader will be on pace with his or her assigned section and could be slightly off-pace with your section.

How should I prepare for SI?

Just show up! If you have time to review your notes beforehand, that’s a bonus, but otherwise just come ready to learn!
