If you goof off for most of the semester, you can't earn extra points at the end. You sign up for recitations using an online form at the course Web site which will be ready shortly. Recitations will begin the week of Jan 22, 2001. An official study group can serve as a substitute for recitation only for students who cannot attend recitation because of scheduling conflicts. However you are encouraged to organize an informal study group on your own even if you attend recitation.
Most students find that discussing notes, problems, etc.
There will be weekly quizzes in recitation worth 10 points each. The quizzes will be written and graded by the teaching assistants and will be different for each section. At the end of the term, each teaching assistant will assign up to 60 points to each student in his or her section. You must take at least 8 quizzes to get any quiz credit. A maximum of 60 points of quiz credit will be added to your exam total in calculating your final grade.
