Recitation sections also meet once a week. Your meeting time is determined by your PHYS 250 section number. You must attend the section for which you are registered.
Each recitation period will consist of a group-based exercise in which the students will further develop their problem-solving skills and the concepts presented in the reading and the lecture sessions. You are required to bring a copy of the Tutorials in Introductory Physics text with you to each recitation meeting. These activities have been carefully designed, tested, and refined by the Physics Education Research Group at the University of Washington to help you develop your understanding of the basic principles underlying physics. Although no grades are assigned during tutorial sessions, most students find them to be the most valuable element in the class for learning to perform well on the exam questions and homework problems.
Each tutorial activity has an accompanying homework activity, which is to be completed by every student and turned in at the next recitation meeting for grading.
