#1 University Vocab: Lectures vs Seminars
π Are you preparing to enter university at home or abroad? Our university vocab guide is here to give you some background knowledge.
βοΈWe all know what classes are. At university we also have classes but there are different types of classes!
βΆοΈ Lectures are classes for many students, sometimes over 100, often held in big rooms called lecture halls. The teachers are normally professors or senior lecturers and students sit quietly while listening and taking notes.
βΆοΈ Seminars are for fewer students, usually no more than twenty. The students donβt sit in rows but in a U-shape or around a big table. In this way they can discuss, which is the main purpose of a seminar.
----------
π lecture hall = big room in a university where lectures are held
π senior lecturer = an experienced university teacher
π taking notes = writing down important points
π row = a line of seats
