“The program provides students with both general resources and learning sessions with supplemental instruction leaders who recently completed the specific course(s) the students are taking.”
“SI are real students who have been in your shoes and can clarify even the hardest topics.”
“SI assists students to figure out what they know already and reinforce their learning through individualized help and study sessions. It helps to foster student success and build confidence!”
“ SI Leaders at UNMC help bridge the gap between course material and practical understanding by sharing our own challenges, study strategies, and reworked course concepts to empower students in their academic journey and overall success. Supplemental instruction and Peer Academic Consulting at UNMC enhances academic success by reinforcing course material, fosters student success through collaborative learning, and promotes overall wellbeing by reducing stress and building a supportive community.”
“Before becoming an SI Leader, attending SI sessions was a game-changer for me. Anatomy was especially challenging at times, but hearing how other students approached tough concepts—like different ways to visualize muscle layers or remember nerve pathways—made everything click. That experience gave me the confidence and tools I needed to succeed, and it inspired me to become an SI Leader so I can help others in the same way.”
“SI’s work closely with professors and students to help better explain challenging concepts. SIs are a valuable resource to students, allowing the same information presented in lectures to be re-explained in terms that students may understand better.”
“SI leaders contribute to the personal growth and academic excellence of UNMC students by offering support, sharing effective study tips, and providing tailored academic support to each student. ”
