Supplemental Instruction
What is SI?
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a free, peer-led study program designed to help you succeed in your courses! SI sessions are casual, collaborative, and focused on active learning.
SI Leaders are students who have done well in the course before. They hold sessions where you can:
- Apply course concepts in a low-pressure environment.
- Compare notes and discuss readings with classmates.
- Develop study strategies that work.
- Prepare for exams with confidence.
Who Can Attend?
Anyone enrolled in an SI-supported course! SI sessions are open to all students, no matter your starting point. Research shows that students who regularly attend SI tend to earn a full letter grade higher than those who don’t!

Peer-Assisted Study Sessions
SI Sessions are for any student who wants to make studying for the course easier and more efficient. SI Sessions are offered at no additional cost and are open to anyone who is enrolled in the course. Studies have shown that students who attend these sessions regularly can expect to earn a final grade of at least a letter grade higher than those who did not attend the sessions. The Wright State Supplemental Instruction Program is coordinated by a supervisor trained by the International Center for Supplemental Instruction.

History of SI
Supplemental instruction was developed at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) in 1973. It was developed to address high failure rates among minorities in medical school at UMKC. The program quickly spread to UMKC’s health and professional schools as a result of initial success. By 1981, the U.S. Department of Education had named SI an Exemplary Education Program. Very few post-secondary programs hold such a distinction. Today, more than 1,800 institutions in the U.S. and 27 countries have implemented SI on their campuses.
