<p>Redsrule: The majority of the classes you stated had no discussion sections are from the Psychology department - in fact, all of them, I believe. That actually makes some sense because the Psychology department runs their labs/discussions differently than other departments and someone who did not attend Binghamton may not know how things work in that department. In Psychology, you take a separate course that is a single credit hour as your lab/discussion. For instance, PSYC 111 is a large lecture hall class (the sections this fall will have 450 and 240 students, assuming they fill). This class is paired with PSYC 112 that complements PSYC 111. The class size in PSYC 112 is 25 students. This makes up the lab portion of the class. It’s offered as a separate class to allow our students more freedom in choosing what to take. They can take the lab component in a separate semester after they finish PSYC 111 if they so choose, although it is recommended that they are taken concurrently.</p>
<p>As I said, the discussion/labs are run differently between classes and between departments, but there is ALWAYS a lab/discussion component there.</p>
