Malm, Joakim; Bryngfors, Leif; Mörner, Lise-Lotte – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Supplemental Instruction (SI) can be an efficient way of improving student success in difficult courses. Here, a study is made on SI attached to difficult first-year engineering courses. The results show that both the percentage of students passing a difficult first-year engineering course, and scores on the course exams are considerably higher…

Malm, Joakim; Bryngfors, Leif E.; Mörner, Lise-Lotte – Australasian Journal of Peer Learning, 2010
The study presents an evaluation of the SI program in five engineering programs within the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) based on data from questionnaires to SI participants and SI-Leaders, credits taken by the students during the first year, and average grade data from high school for the first year students. The results show that participation in…
