The weekly discussion sections are an important complement to the lectures, offering the opportunity for direct and personal interaction with a physics department faculty member and other students from the class. While the sections are primarily devoted to discussion of homework problems, questions about lecture material, and reviews for exams, they also include "Socratic dialogue'' analysis of new problems and questions, as well as presentations of background and supplementary material not included in the lectures.
