I have worked with Supplemental Instruction (SI) programs which are designed to 
provide some extra help in the most difficult courses at 3 different 
colleges/universities.  The definition of being a difficult course is a D, F, 
and W percentage of 30% or higher (DFW Rate) in a given course. The obvious 
courses on the list are math and science.  Psychology has been on the SI list 
at all three of the institutions.  An occasional social science or humanities 
course may show up, but not frequently.  

Of course, this has just been my experience.
