<p>How do I determine the number of class meetings and days per week of the courses listed in schedule of classes? They all have MWF listed but seem to have T and R sporadically included as well.</p>
<p>Can you provide an example (link) of what exactly you are looking at? </p>
<p>The lecture days are in bold in the line that starts with Crs Info. Below that are the days for discussion.</p>
<p>[Schedule</a> of Classes: Class Listing](<a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/detselect.aspx?termsel=11F&subareasel=ANTHRO&idxcrs=0008++++]Schedule”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/detselect.aspx?termsel=11F&subareasel=ANTHRO&idxcrs=0008++++)</p>
<p>Please explain class days/ hours.</p>
<p>MWF is the lectures. </p>
<p>All the ones below that are discussion times. You choose one of them. For example. If you choose Dis 1A You’d have Lecture MWF at 10 and then discussion on just monday at 1 PM</p>
<p>The days= you days you have class
Times = time the class starts and ends</p>
<p>Excuse my ignorance, but what typically occurs at discussion? Aside from the overt answer.</p>
<p>Okay, the professor’s lectures are MWF from 10-10:50. Then you chose a discussion (just one of them) which will range any day/time throughout the week. Discussions will meet once a week on the same day and time. </p>
<p>What exactly happens at discussion depends on the course. The discussions are taught by the graduate student ta’s and they usually just expand on the material presented in class. If its a science class they will go over what the professor says and perhaps expand on the ideas. They prepare you for the midterm/finals and help you with homework problems, but they are not mandatory. North Campus classes are pretty much along the same lines. The ta’s will expand upon ideas presented in class. According to my north campus major friends the real learning happens in the discussion sections which are mandatory. They will also help you with essays and tell you what they expect to be in them (from my experience)</p>
