How do I know if my class has SI support?<\/a><\/p> When registering for classes, you can search for “Supplemental Instruction” in Self-Service<\/a> under Academics->Course Catalog->Course Type. This filtered search will provide you with a list of SI-supported classes for which you can register. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n How much do SI Sessions cost?<\/a><\/p> When do SI Sessions start?<\/a><\/p> Is an SI Leader like a TA (teaching assistant)?<\/a><\/p> No, SI Leaders are not trained as course instructors, nor are they qualified to assist in grading coursework. SI Leaders are trained and managed by the Supplemental Instruction department to market, host, and facilitate study sessions for the course they support. While they are experienced as students who have taken the course, they are not (nor are they expected to be) experts of the course material. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n Do I need an SI Leader for each section of the courses I am teaching?<\/a><\/p> If you are working with multiple sections of the same course (e.g. 3 sections of MATH-1314), then you will only need 1 SI Leader. The assigned SI Leader will attend lectures for just one of the sections, but will be added to the Blackboard site for every section, and will support all students across all sections of the course.<\/p>\n If you are teaching different classes (e.g. one section of MATH-1314 and one of MATH-2412), then the SI would sit in on both classes as they are different courses. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n Can I nominate an international student to be an SI Leader?<\/a><\/p> Yes, you can nominate any student who meets the requirements.<\/a> For international students, make sure the student has (or obtains) a social security number as a prerequisit for their employment. We recommend reaching out to the International Student Office<\/a> as soon as possible to ensure your student is eligible. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n Can I nominate a student who took my course X number of semesters ago?<\/a><\/p> Yes, you can nominate any student who you’ve worked with before. Make sure the student you are nominating meets the requirements listed on the Become an SI Leader page.<\/a> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n Does my nominee need to be a current student at ACC?<\/a><\/p> Although we prefer to hire SI Leaders that are current ACC students, many students take breaks from coursework or even transfer to 4 year institutions. If your nominee is not currently enrolled, but has taken your course at ACC recently, then we will accept the nomination and reach out to the student. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n I won't be teaching this semester, will my SI Leader lose their position?<\/a><\/p> In the event that an SI Leader loses their faculty member for any reason, the SI Team attempts to pair them with another faculty member teaching a course that works with their experience and schedule. While we try our best to ensure consistent employment, there is no guarantee. We recommend reaching out to colleagues of your department on the SI Leader’s behalf to help assign them with another faculty member. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n What is the hiring process to become an SI Leader?<\/a><\/p> How many unique courses can I support as an SI Leader?<\/a><\/p> SI Leaders can support up to two unique courses per semester. “Unique courses” refers to course sections that are distinct from each other (e.g. PHIL-2306, MATH-1414). If an SI Leader is supporting multiple sections of the same course with the same professor and in the same modality (e.g. 2 sections of DIL PHIL-2306), this counts as one unique course. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\nFaculty<\/h2>\n
