Student Feedback on SI “The SI Leaders are amazing! They were able to break down material so it iseasier to understand. They are always so happy to help and they are open toany questions that relate to the material without making students feel sillyfor asking.”“Each of the SI leaders played an important role in my success in pharm[Pharmacology]. Each of them brought a different way to think about theinformation. Each of the sessions covered pertinent information in a wellorganized fashion.”“I would not have passed ATI or earned an A in the class without the help ofthe SI Leaders. This is vital for the success of nursing students.”“I definitely learned a lot in just that short amount of time. Their sessionsgave a lot of direction and pointed out important topics that I may haveoverlooked had I not gone.”
