# Labs

My aim is to make you feel comfortable coming to class and section to learn everything there is to know about Android Development.

In each week, we'll revisit what has been taught in lecture and try to build an app based out of what we've learned so far. Some weeks will be just me talking. Other weeks will be yours to decide on how the section will pan out. We may throw in a game about Android so everyone can have fun. Or we may even have students host their own presentation and I'll give extra credits for doing so.

Just like how lectures work, Ted and I do not care if you come to lab section or not. But as your TA, I am very comfortable with handing out free extra credits for those that do show up and participate in the discussion.
