Supplemental Instruction (SI) leadership at the University of Michigan–Dearborn.
As a Supplemental Instruction Leader, I run peer-led sessions alongside the course. We work through problems together, review for exams and build practice material, so students learn to reason through problems instead of memorizing solutions.
MATH 116: Calculus II
Each worksheet starts with routine practice and builds to harder “if you have time” problems at the end. Every sheet has a web version and its LaTeX source.
