Recitation Section ObjectivesRecitation sections are essential
to your success in this course. Recitation is a time to ask
questions, discuss course materials, and express opinions in a
non-judgmental environment. The purpose of these weekly meetings is
to get you thinking critically about the concepts discussed in
lecture and in your textbook. During recitation you will:
Learn how to analyze architectural concepts and to discuss them
critically with your peers
Review key works discussed in lecture
Put into practice the terminology and architectural concepts
discussed in class
You will be able to apply these skills not only to your
coursework in HAA0040, but to future courses in the History of Art
and Architecture Department and beyond.
Recitation meetings
