| The Difference Between A Lecture & A Seminar |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How does a seminar differ from a lecture? The most obvious difference is that you're usually silent in a lecture but are part of a discussion in a seminar. Lectures are generally delivered to much larger groups of participants. Seminars are given in much smaller groups and often last longer than lectures. The information will be broader, usually based on a lecture, but opened out into a discussion. What is a seminar? A seminar is a group discussion on a specific topic related to a lecture, held between students and a seminar tutor who might or might not also have been the person who gave the lecture on the subject. Where might a seminar take place? Seminars are held in rooms that can accommodate up to 50 people. A seminar group will typically be around 15 -20 participants. Although there can be fewer or more participants, it's unlikely to be much above 20. How long does a seminar last? A seminar could last from one to two hours, depending on the subject, and on whether there's a lecture for each seminar. If there is a lecture, then sometimes the seminars are longer (typically, and depending on the subject, the lecture part comes before the seminar). What type of information is given in a seminar? A seminar broadens out the subject of a lecture and lots of other elements are discussed; other angles, theories, new ideas, links between subjects and so on. What are you supposed to do in a seminar? Participants are expected and encouraged to join in the discussion. A seminar is for the participants to say what they want; an opportunity to discuss the topics connected to the subject that they want to investigate. Participants should be ready to take notes in seminars as lots of interesting points come up during the discussions. What's a lecture? A university lecture is a talk on a specific academic topic given, unsurprisingly, by a lecturer; someone who's an expert on the subject and teaches it at university. Where might it take place and how long does it last? Generally, lectures are given in any large room/space that can accommodate many people. Typically, a lecture will last for an hour. Depending on the subject, a lecture can last half an hour or two hours. What are you supposed to do in a lecture? In a lecture, you're meant to listen and take notes. Sometimes a lecture is interactive, so you're given group tasks - a topic to discuss, perhaps, or a diagram to study - but, generally, you are there to receive the information that has prepared for you. |
