Why do you think SI is important?
My STEM classes included an average of around 150 students within each lecture. Large class sizes drastically impact the pacing and intimacy of your learning experience (they may move more quickly or only broadly cover content); SI is a great opportunity to ask questions on content misunderstandings, study strategies, and even regain a more face-to-face style learning environment for those that prefer it.
