Recitations
Recitations are optional. You do not have to sign up for any and can attend whichever you'd like.
Lecture Review recitations re-cover certain topics from lecture -- these are good if you missed lecture or want another take on the material. Problem Solving recitations will present one or two harder programming questions -- these are good if you need more practice programming and are having trouble with how to approach problem-set-type problems.
