Key Findings and Next Steps
SI effective form of academic support for BSI classes
63.3% success rate for SI participants vs. 41.8% success rate for non-SI
participants
F09 realized the first successful outcome in Math 96 – will consider
reinstating support if funding is available.
Benefits for BSI SI participants
incorporation of study skills
building a connection to peers and college
extra support during crucial time in education
SI challenges:
space – introduction of college hour helped but is not the cure
availability of SI leaders – can’t set the SI schedule till they register
SI Leaders early registration?
funding needed for SI Mentors – 35 sections of SI (12 BSI supported) in Sp 10
semester
trained & experienced
help with SI Leader observations)

SI participants had the highest success rates, followed by the success rates
when SI was not present in class, and lastly the success rates for those who
elected to not participate in SI.
* Math 96 has consistently produced up-side-down results at MVC (support was cut after
the F’09 semester.)
