What is recitation?
Recitation is a component of all Collin chemistry courses that is 50 minutes each week. For my classes, recitation is based on cooperative learning. Students work in groups on weekly assignments and projects. It is a time that I use for students to discuss, help, and learn from each other. The assignments are designed to bring everyday life to our classroom as well as take classroom information out into everyday life.
Recitation is a period preceding work in the laboratory itself where instructions and other material are provided. Recitations are carried out in a lecture room in the Science Building, so students will report to that room first. Then, after material is presented, the laboratory instructor will release the students to move to the laboratory in order to begin work.
