In addition to the weekly class meeting, the instructor is expected to convene a weekly meeting with the teaching assistants to plan recitation activities and provide instructional guidance.

In addition, revisions and enhancements to the learn-by-doing activities are required, informed by feedback received from students in the previous offering of the course.
