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.
