Precept

A generally useless discussion section for a class at Princeton University. Large classes meet once a week in precepts, in addition to lecture. Precepts used to be taught by professors, but the quality has declined and they're now generally useless and taught by grad students.

Student 1: "Hey where are you heading?"
Student 2: "I have to go to my stupid, pointless Environmental Science precept."

I did not have my preception class, so I cannot be a preceptioner.

Precept

Important rules.

The sign showed the students all the precepts, and the less important rules that no one listens to.
