As Halloween approaches, you’re finally able to shift out of midterm mode and anticipate a fun weekend of costumes and parties. You brace yourself for spooky sightings of black cats, frightening ghouls, and jack o’ lanterns. Unfortunately, no one could prepare you for the spookiest surprise of all: that required weekly discussion section you never signed up for. You’re snapped out of your in-class daze when your professor says something about a “discussion section.” A chill rushes down your spine. Surely this is a nightmare, you think to yourself, Freddie Kreuger will be showing up any second now. You’re covered in goosebumps. You triumphed over the frightening midterm, yet you are still haunted by the phantom of a discussion section that has risen from the dead. Why did no one mention this before? How is this the first time you’re hearing of this? Can this lingering ghost of a discussion section be banished to the afterlife? Does Columbia Health have an exorcist for this sort of thing? Chilling, indeed.
Spooky! Your Professor Just Said Something About a “Discussion Section?”
