Lecture Read through the assigned sections before coming to lecture.
In lecture we will go over the ideas and concepts, work sample problems, and view demos. Recitation Your recitation instructor is responsible for determining your numerical recitation grade. As a minimum, that grade is based on a number of short quizzes given during your recitation class meetings, but may include homework assignments or other activities as well. To minimize the impact of differences in the grading policies from one instructor to another, each recitation instructor is required to scale your recitation section's recitation grades so that your class' average final recitation grade is equal to your section's average score from the two midterm exams. If your recitation instructor grades particularly hard, then your score will be scaled up, and if your instructor grades easily, then your score will be scaled down.
