Supplemental Instruction

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of group study sessions that meet on a weekly basis. SI sessions help students to clarify course material and to reinforce good study habits.

SI is available to SEEK students throughout their time in college, although it is geared primarily toward the freshman year. The aim of SI is to help students get better grades in challenging courses. Review sessions are offered for Introduction to Psychology, Macroeconomics, General Chemistry, Biology, and other historically difficult courses.

Workshops

Our test prep workshops for the CUNY/ACT Basic Skills Tests, which all SEEK students must pass by the end of their first year, are very popular.

Our Cambridge Study Skills workshops review the skills necessary for effective college learning, in four main categories:

  • Time management
  • Taking good notes
  • Setting goals
  • Taking tests.
Students are also welcome to take academic skills workshops (including CPE workshops) offered by the Academic Support Center for Excellence (ACE, located in Old Gym Building, Room 205). Workshops offered by ACE are available to all Lehman students. For more information, see the current ACE workshop calendar.
