<h2>Welcome</h2>
<p>Welcome to the Title V  Office of Supplemental Instruction &amp; Technology Web page. We offer review  sessions for several courses in natural sciences, mathematics and business  studies. We train and mentor student leader,; provide technological and  pedagogical resources for learning, and foster faculty collaboration.</p>
<p>Originally supported by a  grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the Title V Office of Supplemental  Instruction &amp; Technology was established at Lehman in the spring of 2007 to  improve student transition to the upper division of scienc disciplines, mathematics, and  business studies.</p>
<h3>What is Supplemental  Instruction?</h3>
<p>Supplemental Instruction  (SI) connects students and instructors with learning strategies and time  management skills to improve success in traditionally difficult courses. SI is  provided to <em>all</em> students who want to improve their understanding of  course material and improve their grades.</p>
<p>SI review sessions are  offered several times each week by a student or recent graduate who knows the  material and knows <em>how</em> to study for great grades. These SI Leaders guide  and facilitate rather than teach: students work together to find answers and  improve their study skills. </p>
<h4>Attendance at sessions is  voluntary. SI is an opportunity for students to: </h4>
<ul>
  <li>Review and compare notes; </li>
  <li>Practice defining and discussing important concepts;</li>
  <li>Develop proven successful strategies for studying;</li>
  <li>Test &amp; improve knowledge of the material <em>before </em>exams.  </li>
</ul>
<p>At each session an SI  leader guides students through the steps and skills needed to understand and  master the assigned work.</p>
