What Former Students Have Said about SI

“SI really helped. As I got older I understood how much it could help, and it made me wish I had used it more when I was younger.” 

“Very helpful, and great insight as to how and what to study.”

“I attended for o chem second semester and it helped a ton! I feel stupid for not doing it throughout my career at Xavier!”

“I went because I needed to do so.  Chemistry just didn't click well.  SI provided tips.”

"SI is a wonderful tool for science students.  It really helped me prepare for tests and review material.”

“They were great ways to review in a more relaxed setting. The instructors were very helpful and knew the material well.”

"SI was an excellent tool! I feel like it really helped me to fully comprehend the material.”

"Best part of the first two years. Definitely a must have.”

“Attending SI helped me study in advance.  It was really beneficial because it prevented me from cramming the night before.  Also, I was able to ask questions that I might not have thought of in class.  It was also nice because the instructor had the teacher before and was able to offer advice based on their past experiences.”

“Used it for gen chem. Made adjusting to college easier and I found the material fairly difficult. I did fine in O Chem and biology without them, though I know others that found in particular the O Chem sessions helpful. Even though I didn't use them for all the courses that they are offered for, I think they are still a great idea.”

“I have loved SI.  I went on to teach SI for general biology, and it has been one of the best opportunities that I have had at Xavier.  Reflecting back on freshman year, I realized that most of my close friends that I have today were in my SI sessions freshman and sophomore year!”

“Organic Chemistry was freaking hard!  The Supplemental Instruction for that course was a must, and is certainly what allowed me to do well in the course and not fail.”  

"I found the review of information with peers and in a different context to be helpful and it improved my test scores.” 

“SI is the reason I did so well.  (My A&P SI leader) was awesome.  She really listened to our questions and answered them.  She had great worksheets.”

“The (A&P) SI leader was great.  She made it interactive which was more helpful than Q&A.  Also the worksheets were beneficial.”

“I loved having a set time each week where I knew I would just focus on Anatomy.”

"The extra worksheets really helped and going was a good way to make me study (for A&P).”

“This was an extremely helpful experience.  More people should have taken advantage of it.”
