'>This
     class lab was very helpful. I attended class regularly and looked forw=
ard
     to receiving help with homework. I am glad I had the chance to utilize=
 the
     math lab. I am only sorry that we had to keep pulling him from one sta=
tion
     to another-he was the biggest help in the class. He guided us way more
     than the actual instructor. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The
     help that I&#8217;ve received has been a monumental asset in my
     comprehension of this course with the instruction and encouragement of=
 the
     instructor. I sincerely recommend SI to anyone. I had such a fear of m=
ath
     before I began this course and now I have confidence in my ability to
     learn math. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>Having
     an SI is helpful to some students and it&#8217;s a good idea to have t=
he SI
     there, the only problem is that some <span class=3DSpellE>SI&#8217;s</=
span>
     don&#8217;t put much effort into schedule timing or <span
     style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp;</span>couldn&#8217;t make an appoint=
ment
     with students that need help with the material. <span class=3DSpellE>S=
I&#8217;s</span>
     should take time to organize <span class=3DGramE>themselves</span> and
     schedule timings or say if they have to change. Also give a reminder
     (flyer or so) about the schedule to help us. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>I
     believe I would have done a better job if I would have dedicated more =
time
     to this course, if I would have attended more lessons with the SI. The
     instructor did an excellent job at teaching. She was patient, kind and
     caring whether we made good grades or not. If we didn&#8217;t do well =
in
     class it was because of our lack of effort not her teaching. If I had =
to
     take this class again, I would take it with this instructor. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>While
     attending the SI sessions I became a better student. My grades went up=
 two
     letter grades. I thought I was going to drop the course before I start=
ed
     going to them. He covers a lot of material and shares his notes when y=
ou
     need it. He explains the material well and used many examples to help =
me
     remember. Great supplemental instructor!</li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The SI
     was helpful and made <span class=3DGramE>himself</span> very available=
 even
     on his personal time to help with any questions. He also sent out noti=
ces
     of reviews, tests and homework dates via e-mail. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>I
     believe he could have been more helpful and insightful. It was like a
     guessing game at some sessions and when you would get it, and then he
     would agree or disagree instead of taking the initiative. But he was
     helpful at times. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>SI
     sessions were pretty informative; I would like to see our SI become mo=
re
     active in class. There should be more office hours for SI.</li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>Great
     SI-helps us each morning if we didn&#8217;t understand the homework. He
     has a great attitude, has perseverance. If he doesn&#8217;t know the
     answer to a problem he doesn&#8217;t give up, he keeps trying. He&#821=
7;s
     fun and serious at the same time. <span
     style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp;</span></li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>Having
     the SI sessions should be something every class has. It&#8217;s easier
     having a fellow student to go to than a professor. I wish I would have
     attended them more often, because it helped me so much for one of our
     tests. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>Thanks
     to the SI, I have managed to stay in track, improve my grades, and
     developed a better understanding of the material. There were several t=
imes
     when I was confused or had questions regarding a specific topic, which=
 he
     helped me clear. I find the SI sessions definitely helpful. If it
     wouldn&#8217;t have been for them my grade in the class would be lower=
.</li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The SI
     leader was not very positive to some students. He downgraded the thing=
s we
     were studying. He also mentioned things that were not going to be on t=
est,
     but when test day came, the problems were on there.<span
     style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp; </span></li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>He
     told me and a friend on several sessions to skip certain questions on =
our
     on-line homework because they wouldn&#8217;t be on the test. Of course
     that would have brought my homework grade down and he said not to stud=
y it
     because it would not be on the test and it was! Also, I went to the ma=
th
     lab area and he was supposed to help me and another student and he ign=
ored
     me, he wouldn&#8217;t acknowledge my requests. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The
     one I went to was relatively helpful, though we did not stay on topic =
the
     entire time. The SI was still very knowledgeable. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The SI
     sessions seemed helpful to so many students, wish there were afternoon
     sessions available, most sessions were in the morning and affected oth=
er
     course work. I wish times were spread evenly throughout the week days.=
 </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>I feel
     our SI in the classroom did a wonderful job. She walked around class
     during problems and attended those who needed help. Constant attendanc=
e. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>I
     attended one session with him and he didn&#8217;t really help with the
     questions I had. I decided to go to the math lab to get the rest of my
     help and I also just got help from the instructor. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>He was
     okay, not as approachable or enthusiastic, but gave good help when I a=
sked
     him. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The SI
     always needed help from other instructors when helping me or it took h=
im a
     very long time to figure out the correct answer. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>The SI
     instructor and her assistant have been supportive of me succeeding in =
0300
     math. This class should be required for 0300 and 1300. The class enabl=
es
     me to stay focus on my class work. I am thankful for the support I have
     received in this math success lab. </li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>He was
     helpful but he explains things too fast and that does not help. After =
him
     repeating it a few times it was easier. Other than that he is a good S=
I.
     Very good at math.</li>
 <li class=3DMsoNormal style=3D'mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in=
'>I
     think having an SI in class is comforting to students, that there is
     someone available for consultation that is also a student. </li>
