<p>I know that it is to ask questions/ explanations but if I have none for the moment, am I still obliged to sit there sleepless at 8:50 AM? The grading does not include this in any way so why would it be a problem?</p>
<p>Depends on you professor, check the syllabus.</p>
<p>Seeing as how Econ is on a curve, I would do my best to get as good a grade as possible, even if it means attending things that might not be “mandatory”.</p>
<p>Well, the syllabus does not say whether it is required or not but I’m guessing not since the grading depends on 3 tests and homework only.</p>
<p>I understand what you mean flight23, but in most cases, rereading the material carefully can help you understand better than to lose sleep and go to a session that will merely restate what you read. I will still go once or twice and see what it is like but I probably wont go there all the time.</p>
<p>I never had an econ class where they were mandatory, although I once had one where you had to turn in the homework at recitation - 75% of us just showed up at the beginning, stuck it on the pile and left. Don’t go unless you need to go.</p>
<p>^thanks potatoes. My homework is online on Aplia so really have no reason to go to this early morning recitation since it does not even count for participation.</p>
