Sometimes, it is easy to get overwhelmed with classes. Know that you are not alone, and many engineers initially struggle with balancing course load and getting settled on campus. There are many resources available for the hard classes, and one of those resources is SI Sessions. SI, or Supplementary Instruction, are weekly evening workshops led by a past student who did well in the class. These sessions involve interactive activities that help reinforce the material learned in class. Depending on the SI leader, these sessions may or may resonate with you, so make sure to try a few different leaders out if your class offers more than one SI leader. Some particularly difficult “weeder” classes include Calculus II (MA162 or MA166) and Physics (PHYS172). A good way to survive these are to attend SI sessions.
