Supplemental Instruction
UTC partners with the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) to ensure students are aware of the Supplemental Instruction (SI) and Active Learning Assistants (ALA) schedules. These sessions prove to be valuable to students needing extra support in rigorous courses.
What is supplemental instruction? Supplemental Instruction provides academic support for students in large, required, and/or challenging courses. Faculty members collaborate with the SI Coordinator to identify potential SI Leaders for their courses. SI Leaders are undergraduate students who have taken the course before and done well. Each SI Leader works with a specific course. The SI Leaders attend lectures, participate in class activities, and serve as model students for their peers. SI Leaders also hold regular study sessions outside of class to help students develop study skills and master the course content. Learn about supplemental instruction.
Who are active learning assistants? The Active Learning Assistant program supports Active Learning Assistants (ALAs), faculty, and students by helping faculty create engaging, collaborative, and student-centered learning environments. ALAs are undergraduate students who meet with faculty members for weekly preparation sessions to promote active learning in their courses. These preparation sessions provide valuable feedback for faculty, allowing the ALA and the instructor to bounce ideas back and forth as they prepare for the next week. Learn more here.

NETTUTOR
NetTutor provides students with flexible online support. Undergraduate students are encouraged to use this service if they need online support at any time of the day; some subject areas are offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No appointment is needed to receive NetTuor assistance. Students view the schedule online to identify the days and times the assistance they need is offered. To access NetTutor, students need to visit Canvas and complete the following steps:
NetTutor is offered on a first come, first served basis. Most of the time, a tutor will virtually immediately; however, there can be wait times of up to 20 minutes. If multiple students are needing assistance from the same tutor, NetTutor will limit the session time. If students still need additional assistance after that session, they can wait for additional turns. If students are needing long-term assistance, they are encouraged to request Paired Peer Tutoring.
