<p>Again it depends on the class. Most discussions will be optional, and so only a handful of the enrolled students will actually show up. I’ve had mixed feelings about them- some are just a waste of time and I’ll sleep in instead, while others were actually useful and helped me out during exams.</p>
<p>If they’re required like the clusters, it’s up to the discretion of the TA to determine how many points their projects will be worth (since some have projects they designed, while others don’t).</p>
