Seminar style courses are small classes where students learn by reading, discussing and<br />
presenting material provided by the lecturer, often in the form of research papers. <strong>The</strong><br />
lecturer guides the discussion, but students are expected to take an active role, with<br />
presentation of material or leadership of discussion often being a part of the course.<br />
In addition to developing knowledge of the content area of the course students develop<br />
skills in critical reading of research literature and in synthesizing and comparing<br />
approaches to problems.<br />
