Do not give it to a friend to give to us. If we do not receive it, you will receive a failing grade for the paper, unless you have a medical excuse from a Medical Doctor. As you will discover, it is not enough to read them once, twice, or even three times. Repeated readings and discussion are required for a proper understanding of the issues. The purpose of the discussion section is to provide a forum for discussion of the material we have covered.
Attendance is mandatory.
Your participation is not only welcome, but expected. Indeed, you are encouraged to set up discussion groups with your classmates to meet outside the class to supplement the discussion sections. This will prove especially helpful later in the semester, during preparation for the final exam. The final exam will be cumulative . What this means is that it will cover all the material, from the first day to the last.
