Good question!  The only reason we need this information is to be sure
the problem set gets back to the group that submitted it.  So, any will do.  
Simplest way is to write the TA name and time for the section that the first 
student listed is attending.  NOTE: It is not the assigned section for that 
student that is important, but rather the section where the student is 
attending, so he/she can receive the graded problem set.  It is then that 
student's job to share it with the rest of the study group.

And if that changes from problem set 1 to problem set 2, change what you put
at the top of the problem set accordingly.

Again, we keep track of grades with ONE central grade sheet so all 
students whose name appear on that one problem set will get the grade 
assigned.
