Recitation guidelines

1. Recitation is optional and it is intended to clarify material presented in class, expand horizons, and stimulate curiosity
2. Take only one of the two recitation sections; Please attend the recitation section you are signed up for.  If absolutely necessary you can attend the other section – but please inform the instructor.
3. Recitation grade will be based on attendance. A = perfect attendance record. 1 absence = B, etc.  There will be an option to do extra work to make up for a missed recitation (with valid excuse).
