What does SI stand for?

• A. Peer Led Team Learning
• B. Student Union
• C. Supplemental Instruction
• D. Student Wellness

Answer: (C)

Supplemental Instruction is a structured peer-facilitated study format designed to help students master difficult course material. In SI, trained leaders who did well in the course run regular, voluntary study sessions where students collaborate on practice problems, review challenging topics, and develop effective study strategies. The focus is on active learning and explaining reasoning to peers, not on lecturing, so students strengthen their understanding through discussion and problem-solving with others.

This is different from Peer Led Team Learning, which emphasizes team-based problem solving within a specific framework; the Student Union refers to the campus hub or student government, and Student Wellness covers health and well-being services. Among these, Supplemental Instruction is the option that directly targets academic support through structured, peer-led study groups.
