About the Program:
The Guided Study Session (GSS) Program offers FREE, regularly scheduled study
sessions for traditionally difficult courses. Based on the Supplemental
Instruction model (SI), weekly 50-minute sessions are held using a
collaborative learning process. UMD students can attend once or attend every
session, as they please. Our data suggests that the more the students
participate in GSS, the higher their final grade will be in the course.
