The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of supplemental instruction (SI) in increasing student performance for students enrolled in cell biology from 2008–2010 at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. The more SI sessions students participated in for cell biology, the higher their end‐of‐semester grade point average. Qualitative and quantitative data in support of using SI for undergraduate instruction in cell biology will be presented.
