Discussion Logistics contd. Discussion Participation Points: I will put up an attendance word on the board every week - the attendance link will not change, just the word! Otherwise, discussion is not mandatory! Anyone is welcome to come to my discussion or lab as long as there are free seats(and I don’t anticipate there being any issues with space). Other TA’s may have differing policies…
