<p>do we have to go to discussions on the first day of classes?</p>
<p>nope! unless your professor emails you to do so, tradition dictates that you don't.</p>
<p>(this applies to traditional discussion sections only. if you ditch, say, a lab class ... they'll drop you from the roster.)</p>
<p>Do people still go though?</p>
<p>freshmen definitely attempt to go ... TAs know better than to show up.</p>
<p>(though one year, i did sit outside the classroom and watch all the confused froshies wander in and back out again ... that was entertaining.)</p>
<p>lmao lol that's funny!</p>
