I have been leading supplemental instruction sessions at Purdue University Calumet since the Fall of 2003. For the majority of the courses I have lead, I have kept a detailed log of the proceedings of each SI session as well as links to numerous study materials I have prepared for each semester's course. Below are links to the websites for each course since Fall 2003.

  • ECE 275: Analog and Digital Electronics
• Spring 2005
  • ECE 370: Digital Systems: Logic Design
• Fall 2004
  • ECE 201: Linear Circuit Analysis I
• Fall 2003
  • ENGR 160: Software Tools for Engineers: MATLAB & Simulink

Supplemental Instruction @ Purdue Calumet

Purdue University Calumet's Supplemental Instruction (SI) Program officially began in the Fall 2003, yet it began implementation on a small scale one year prior. The SI program is overseen by the Skills Assessment and Development Center at Purdue University Calumet. The program is coordinated by Jacquline Reason. Since its inception, SI coverage has increased from 10 to 22 disciplines, 23 to 48 courses, and 43 to 96 sections. The Skills Assessment and Development Center and the Supplemental Instruction Program has become an integral component of student success!

Job Description & Responsibilities

I have been working for the Skills Assessment and Development Center at Purdue University Calumet since Spring 2003 as a tutor and/or Supplemental Instruction Leader. A supplemental instruction leader is a an undergraduate student who facilitates weekly study and review sessions for selected courses. SI sessions are interactive, collaborative review sessions that combine what-to-learn (content) with how-to-learn (study strategies). SI is open to any student enrolled in a course being supported with SI. Student attendance at sessions is voluntary.

As a SI leader, I am responsible for the following tasks:

• Attend all lectures, take notes, and read course material.
• Conduct two to four SI sessions per week, each session either 1.5 or 2 hours in length.
• Plan interactive learning activities that integrate study strategies with course content.
• Prepare handouts with questions/problems/mock exams to be covered during the SI session.
• Conduct exam review sessions.
• Attend all scheduled meetings with SI Coordinator and SI Supervisor.
• Model outstanding student behavior and successful academic practices
• Work 10-15 hours per week.

My Qualifications

Currently, I am qualified to lead many mathematics, physics, computer science, and of course, electrical & computer engineering courses. I am most comfortable instructing circuit analysis and design, digital system design, object oriented software design, and data structures and algorithms.
