Study Groups, XU LAC

The LAC is pleased to announce that we will be facilitating Supplemental Instruction sessions for all sections of General Biology, General Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, and a section of Anatomy and Physiology.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program that targets traditionally difficult courses, courses with high D, F, and W rates. A trained peer tutor attends the lecture class, takes notes, and facilitates study sessions for the course. All students in the course are encouraged to participate in the study sessions. The SI program has had resounding success. In one course, the regular attendants received a course average of 3.02, while those who did not attend SI sessions received an average of 1.6.

Additionally, there will be drop-in tutoring sessions for a variety of subjects, including Spanish, Anatomy & Physiology, and Physics. Trained peer tutors facilitate the sessions, guiding the members and helping them find answers to their questions and make a regular habit of studying.

Students do not need to sign up to attend these sessions; they can simply show up during the scheduled time for the session. Most sessions are held in the LAC office, located on the first floor of Kuhlman Hall, unless it is otherwise noted below.
