The following schedule is for Discussion Sections A01 - A06 ONLY.

Discussion is one of the few times that we will be able to regularly work together, discuss ideas, get feedback, and practice the course material. To facilitate these interactions, we will using Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) activities.

Before completing your first discussion activity, please read the following note:

To The Students

All students are expected to:

1. Attend their regularly scheduled discussion section.

- - - You can reschedule a single discussion ONLY by TA approval. Email your TA with the justification of the need to reschedule and documentation supporting your reasoning. If approved AND space is available, you will be notified by your TA.

2. Participate actively in the group discussion and completion of the POGIL activity.

- - - Each activity has four designated roles. The purpose of these roles is to facilitate the group interaction and help to develop your process skills.
    - Roles should be rotated from week to week so all students get a chance to develop the full range of process skills.
    - To learn more about how to add group members to a gradescope submission, click here.

3. In the event of absence or illness, a student may complete the POGIL activity independently.

- - - You will be required to submit your work ON TIME to gradescope.
    - In order to receive full credit, you will need to attach documentation of your need to complete the activity independently (e.g., a doctor's notes dated for the day of the missed discussion).
