Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an international program that provides peer-facilitated academic support outside of the regular classroom through the use of collaborative learning techniques.

SI Leaders plan and lead three hours of SI sessions each week in direct partnership with the SI course instructor. These sessions are designed to help students verbalize, think about, and apply course concepts and reinforce study strategies which work best for that particular subject.

To learn more about SI, please visit the official SI website: http://www.umkc.edu/asm/si/index.shtml.

To find out more about SI or to inquire about including SI in one of your courses, please contact Keri Pearson in the Learning Commons at pearsonka@unk.edu.

SI has grown considerably at UNK since its first semesters on campus in 2006. The following SI courses are currently underway:
