Why is World Civilization (or Calculus, or Chemistry, or Biology) on my class schedule more than once?

Some courses here at the University at Buffalo have multiple pieces to them and therefore appear on your academic schedule more than once.
For example, World Civilization (UGC 111 and UGC 112) typically has two portions: a lecture and a recitation. Chemistry (CHE 101 and CHE 102) typically has three portions: a lecture, a recitation, and a laboratory.
The lecture component will involve your professor delivering important course material to you in a large group setting.
The recitation component will involve a professor or teaching assistant going over material more in-depth. You might take quizzes, complete homework assignments, or do group work in these smaller sessions.
Laboratories will allow time to complete required experiments and write-ups for a course.
In order to successfully complete a course which involves more than one component, it is important to remember to attend each portion of it. If you have further questions about recitations, lectures, or laboratories please see your academic advisor or professor.
