Supplemental Instruction
UTC partners with the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) to ensure students are aware of the Supplemental Instruction (SI) and Active Learning Assistants (ALA) schedules. These sessions prove to be valuable to students needing extra support in rigorous courses.
What is supplemental instruction? Supplemental Instruction provides academic support for students in large, required, and/or challenging courses. Faculty members collaborate with the SI Coordinator to identify potential SI Leaders for their courses. SI Leaders are undergraduate students who have taken the course before and done well. Each SI Leader works with a specific course. The SI Leaders attend lectures, participate in class activities, and serve as model students for their peers. SI Leaders also hold regular study sessions outside of class to help students develop study skills and master the course content. Learn about supplemental instruction.
Who are active learning assistants? The Active Learning Assistant program supports Active Learning Assistants (ALAs), faculty, and students by helping faculty create engaging, collaborative, and student-centered learning environments. ALAs are undergraduate students who meet with faculty members for weekly preparation sessions to promote active learning in their courses. These preparation sessions provide valuable feedback for faculty, allowing the ALA and the instructor to bounce ideas back and forth as they prepare for the next week. Learn more about the Active Learning Assistant Program.
