Facilitated by an upper class student, SI offers a group learning environment outside of class that "supplements" the instructor's lecture and lab. SI leaders often attend the class and maintain a working relationship with the instructor.

·  Collaborative Learning Groups (CLG) - Currently offered for CHM 2200. CLG is small, structured study groups up to twelve students facilitated by an upper class student in a given subject. Leaders act as a spring board for discussion and questioning regarding a specific topic. Emphasis is on problem-solving and critical thinking.
