Biology
“Through SI, I got things cleared up and explained more and I ended up getting a 99 ½ on my BIO test.” – BIO 090 student

“(SI) organizes me, so I know what I need to study. If there is something I don’t get (in class), I can get immediate help (in SI).” – CHM 145 student
“The review test questions are very helpful (and) give students a better idea of what’s going to be on the test, (along with) what areas of the chapter to concentrate on.” – CHM 146 student
