catch-up class

0Dear teachers,02br
02br
00I would appreciate it very much if you could teach me the meaning of the " 01b00catch-up class02b00 " in the sentence below:02br
02br
00The teacher says :" For those who miss any class , there is a free 01b00catch-up class02b00 once a month on Saturday morning .02br
02br
00Can "01b00catch-up class"02b00 here be used interchangeably with " 01b00make-up class " ?02b02br
02br
00Thank you in advance0-

0Don't know for sure, but I suspect there's a difference. "For those who miss 01b 00any02b 00 class," indicates many different classes may be dealt with in this one session. I would think of a "make-up" class as one which is more or less identical to the one which was missed.
