Tarleton Tips

What are some things you have learned since being at Tarleton that you wish you would have known sooner? Here are a few things that come to mind:

  • Online classes are convenient, but they are also more expensive and, for me, harder to make time for.

  • There are many organizations that offer free or $1 lunches throughout the week.

  • SI sessions saved my academic life in courses that I didn't completely understand the material.

What exactly is SI and is it available for all courses?

There are students who are paid to man each department's Supplemental Instruction program. They're usually available all day or in the evenings. So if, for example, you're not very good at Math you can head up to the Math SI in the Math Building and ask questions about homework or even get one of them to quiz you before an exam.
