discussion section
Small group meeting
A discussion section is the part of an academic paper where researchers interpret their findings, explain what the results mean, and connect them to broader questions in the field.
Unlike the results section, which presents data, the discussion section analyzes significance and addresses limitations.
In university courses, discussion section (or just section) also refers to a smaller class meeting led by a teaching assistant, supplementing large lectures: I have discussion section on Fridays.
