Program Information:
The Guided Study Session (GSS) Program offers FREE,
regularly scheduled study sessions for traditionally difficult courses. Based
on the Supplemental Instruction model (SI), weekly 50-minute sessions are held
using a collaborative learning process. Students can attend once or attend
every session. Our data suggests that the more the students participate in GSS
, the higher their final grade will be in the course.
