Abstract

While data show that students who attend Supplemental Instruction (SI) sessions regularly perform better in exams in our Anatomy & Physiology classes, it was always a struggle to get students to attend in-person, on-campus SI sessions. Due to COVID-related restrictions, SI sessions were conducted online only during Academic Year 2020/2021. Students were able to watch recorded sessions in addition to attending live sessions. We analyzed attendance for online SI sessions and whether there a correlation between the number of SI sessions attended and the overall exam score in the class.
