Our Services

All students are encouraged to utilize our Centers beginning week one of the semester.  We want our students to view tutors and SI Leaders as a resource to better understand course concepts and gain insight into study and test-taking strategies within a collaborative peer learning environment.  Students will become more confident in their learning and be able to apply critical thinking skills to other courses.

IASS Centers:

• Supplemental Instruction (SI): SI leaders are assigned to courses that are identified as the most challenging courses for students. The SI leader’s role is to attend all class sessions and to organize at least two study group sessions per week outside of class.  During class sessions, SI leaders will exemplify a model student – arrive on time, take notes, and keep abreast of assignments.   In the study group sessions, SI leaders facilitate the students in active learning – discussing and reviewing concepts, preparing for tests and exams, and developing study strategies appropriate to the course material.
