SI group study sessions are facilitated by SI Leaders, who are peer students who have previously completed the course and demonstrated competency. Each week the SI Leader will hold study sessions on campus during which students can clarify lecture notes, review textbook readings and discuss key course concepts. SI also provides an opportunity for students to develop effective study skills, including time management and organization skills.
