<p>Now, I am aware this may be a dumb question:</p>
<p>Ya know how each class has a lecture and a discussion period rite? (or with sciences, one block for lectures, 1 for labs, and 1 for discussions).</p>
<p>Excatly how do lectures and discussions differ? :confused: I will be a freshman this year at college park, but this has been kinda bugging me, lol.</p>
<p>Lectures have every student in the class with the professor teaching while discussions have 10-20 students with the TA with supplement teaching and work on papers and stuff.</p>
<p>You'll find out in due time.</p>

<p>you forgot to add that 90% of the time the TA doesnt speak english either...</p>
<p>i've got no clue because both environments don't sound very conducive to learning and i've never taken part in either.. but good luck. :)</p>
