Talk:Recitation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do any schools besides the University of Pittsburgh actually have these?

-yes, just about every ABET accredited program (undergraduate) in mechanical and electrical engineering has some form of recitation periods. Anyone else go through an undergrad engineering program that didn't have a recitation period?

[edit] Is this the main meaning of the word?

What about the recitation of religious texts, or of poetry, etc.? Is the academic meaning really the main meaning of the term? -- 145.254.145.85 18:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Poetry recitation redirects to poetry reading, I've added a cross-link here. I've never heard of religious-text-recitations. I think "recitation" alone with no modifiers most often refers to the academic use. -- stillnotelf is invisible 00:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
