• 6) Recitation and Tutoring Sessions:
  
  Our recitation and tutoring sessions will be held at
  
  • Tuesdays 10:00-11:45am: MS 204
    
  • Tuesdays 4:00-5:45pm: Geol 315
    
  • Wednesdays 7:30-9:00pm: Bus 214
    
  • Thursdays 8:30-10:15am: Geol 315
    
  • Thursdays 3:00-4:45pm: Geol 315
  
  As stated on the first homework assignment, you can attend one of the Recitation/Tutoring sessions each week and obtain a total of 3 extra credit (EC) points when you attend 50min out of the first 60min of a Recitation/Tutoring session during the week when these extra credit problems will be solved during that session. Please be aware that 3 points is the maximum number of EC points you can obtain in each week. You will not obtain 6 points even if you turn in solutions to these EC problems as part of your regular homework and also attend one (or more) of the Recitation/Tutoring sessions in a week.
  
  The second hour in each of the five 2-hour blocks is a general walk-in tutoring session. You can attend as many of these sessions as you want during a week, but no extra credit will be provided when you attend the second hour.
  
  Additional walk-in tutoring labs are offered by the Academic Resource Center. Please see their Web site for the Spring 2010 free drop-in tutoring schedule. Times may change during the semester, so please check the ARC Web page to make sure tutoring is available at your preferred time.
  
  As a reminder, attending any of the recitation/tutoring sessions is voluntary. However, this may be the easiest way to obtain a better grade!
