What is a recitation and do I have to attend?
- FAQ Type: Academics
- FAQ Response:
A recitation is a smaller class meeting where you may review material, work closely with your instructor or TA, or even take quizzes and tests. These are typically led by the teaching students who are often either upperclassmen or even graduate students. Attendance in your recitation is often counted toward your final course grade. If your class has specific meeting times listed, you must attend each of those class times! (If you're looking to get a better grasp on either the material taught in the class or on the intended major in general, your TAs are great resources to get a better idea on their own college experience!)
