Recitation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Recitation is a discussion carried by a teaching assistant (TA) to supplement a lecture given by a senior faculty at an academic institution. During the recitation, TAs will review the lecture, expand on the concepts, and carry a discussion with the students. In classes with a mathematics aspect, the recitation is often used to perform derivations or solve problems similar to those assigned to the students.
A related use of the word is the poetry recitation, a spoken presentation of a poem.
