Tasks
As an SI leader, you will regularly arrange meetings where you lead student groups on your subject according to the usual SI methodology. The purpose of the SI sessions is for the student group to discuss the concepts and questions of the subject and together come up with answers and solutions. Students learn to see each other as learning resources and are trained in collaborative learning.
