Lecture hours are intended to deliver the theoretical knowledge as well as problem solving skills. So, the subject matter is to be learned in the lectures; Recitation hours are for practicing knowledge of the probability theory and statistics, often on a computer.
Letter grades are assigned by the end of the semester considering the difficulty level of assessments, statistical distribution of the class performance and the particular student’s individual performance in comparison to the first two, where typically, the average-performed student receives a grade around C. There is no compulsory or bonus-bearing attendance for any course activity other than the final exam. Failing to take the final exam returns an FX.
