What is Supplemental Instruction (SI)?

Supplemental Instruction (SI) courses provide additional academic support to a variety of classes at Cleveland State University. SI courses incorporate an SI Leader, usually a student peer or graduate student, into the course who attends all of the course lectures. The SI Leader then conducts 2-3 scheduled review sessions each week which follow the course lectures.

During the SI review sessions, students have the opportunity to review the material covered in the lectures, ask questions, take practice quizzes, collectively problem-solve, apply strategies, and much more. SI review sessions are provided at no extra cost, are voluntary, and can be attended as needed or desired.

What is Structured Learning Assistance (SLA)?

Structured Learning Assistance (SLA) courses provide additional support much in the same way as Supplemental Instruction course listed above, with two (2) main differences.

The first difference is that the SLA course review sessions are built into the course, much like a lab session is built into science course. When you enroll in an SLA course, you also enroll in the SLA review session, but at no extra cost.

The second difference is that the SLA courses have an attendance policy for the SLA review sessions. All students attend the SLA sessions at the beginning of the term. Continued attendance becomes mandatory for students who are below the expected performance goal as set by the course instructor.
