TEACHING LABS AND RECITATIONS INTRODUCTION Labs and recitations complement the lecture component of a course. While the lab component of a course typically has a well-defined schedule of experiments to be conducted each week, the recitation is intended to allow students to discuss and obtain clarification of material presented in the formal lecture. Consequently, its structure is generally more flexible than a lab. Some courses may have both a lab and a recitation. While labs and recitations support the formal lecture, their importance, and hence the teaching assistant’s importance, in helping students achieve the overall learning objectives of the class should not be underestimated. In addition, experiences early on in the undergraduate curriculum…

home works should be replaced with oral recitations. Home works are sets of tasks given by the teacher to their students to be done during non-school hours. My first point is, home works are pointless. Why? Home works are pointless because not all students but most of the students would just rely on the work of their classmates or the worst case, home works are done in a hurry. In other words, this can lead students into bad behaviors like cheating because students…
