SI Elements: Courses – historically difficult courses SI Leader – passed course with an ‘A’ – paid for attending all classes with current class – does not re-lecture – leads/facilitates discussion – shares study strategies – viewed as a peer Sessions – ‘ two’ one hour sessions per wk – planned around students Session – group participation Participant – attended at least one SI session – attendance is voluntary

Key Points: Makes F students D students (M50,50) Increases retention rate 1 to 4 sessions attendees = “test prep” Selection of courses are data based driven Basic sources of SI growth: funding (not a replacement for tutoring) availability of SI leaders (trained & experienced) seasoned BSI coordinator (trained, experienced & dedicated champion)
