<p>I dont know, maybe it varies from college to college but are recitations usually compulsory to attend? Or can you just skipp them if you already feel you know the stuff?</p>
<p>It depends on the class. For me, my math/physics recitations were required because they either took attendance, or you have to give your hw then and take a quiz. But for all the other classes that didn't have required recitations, I usually skipped them because i honestly dont think they help ME at all. If it helps you, then by all means go!
basically, some classes will either take attendance, or you will have to turn in hw/take quiz during that rec. The only way to find out is go to the first day of class, and to the first recitation and see whats going on, then you can decide from there</p>
