Attendance at Discussion sections is required because they form an essential
part of the course where you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on
experience with minerals, rocks, maps, and other exercises as a compliment to
the materials covered in lectures.
Follow this link to the Syllabus for the
Discussion, which contains important information you need to know.
