#1 University Vocab: Lectures vs Seminars
🆕 Are you preparing to enter university at home or abroad? Our university vocab guide is here to give you some background knowledge.
❗️We all know what classes are. At university we also have classes but there are different types of classes!
▶️ 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.
▶️ Seminars are for fewer students, usually no more than twenty. The students don’t 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.
----------
📝 lecture hall = big room in a university where lectures are held
📝 senior lecturer = an experienced university teacher
📝 taking notes = writing down important points
📝 row = a line of seats

#2 University Vocab: Academic Literature
❗️When you study at a university you most likely have to read a lot for your essays and thesis paper.
🔎 Books are reliable sources of information. You find them in the library or, if you’re lucky, as pdf-files on the internet. Copyright is tricky, but you can always turn to Russian websites!
🔎 Articles, also just called papers, are more specialised than books. They are usually included in academic journals. It’s easy to get them on the internet but the quality of articles and also journals is not always good.
🔎 Websites are not academic literature! Anyone can publish anything online.
----------
📌reliable = trustworthy, always there for you
📌tricky = complicated, difficult
