<p>So I'm an incoming freshman, and I've been playing around with CourseRank recently to see what my schedule might look like. </p>

<p>Is there any way to see/look up which GSI teaches which discussion section? </p>

<p>I know GSI's vary in helpfulness and easiness, so I'd like help please.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help, and sry if this might be a dumb question :)</p>

<p>Relax.</p>

<p>The GSIs for discussion sections may change at any time, but the fortunate news is that for most classes, nobody cares which discussion sections you actually attend.</p>

<p>Simply put, the GSIs are not important. Focus on choosing discussion sections that work best for you time-wise.</p>

<p>ah, sweet thanks</p>

<p>woahh that information is completely incorrect. ALL of my sections have had a participation grade, which means attendance and discussion in that section counts toward 10-20% of your grade. More importantly, it is the GSI that is giving you your grade. Thus it is a good idea to get to know your GSI, how he/she grades, especially if there are papers involved in the class. This may be different for hard core science classes, but all my breadth and major requirement classes have been like this.</p>

<p>Ah, the reliability of CollegeConfidential. Lol. Well, itsaclassic, is there any way for me to see which GSI teaches which discussion section?</p>

<p>I would support itsaclassic.</p>

<p>What class in particular are you worrying about OP?</p>

<p>uhhh…all of them, i guess. </p>

<p>To be more specific:</p>

<p>Stat 21
ESPM 50AC
PAC 164A
Physics C10</p>

<p>(goin for Econ/Haas, have already finished requirements for Calculus and Econ 1 via AP credits)</p>

<p>It depends on the class. GSI’s matter a lot for humanities classes like English/Poli Sci because sections are mandatory and have participation grades. Lab GSI’s are also pretty important. </p>

<p>For other classes (most of yours), you should just pick based on the best times for you and figure out the GSI’s and stuff during the year. Like I just went to different sections for Econ every monday and wednesday this semester just because the time/location was more convenient that way.</p>
