Much will depend on the nature of your course, but you are likely to experience some of the following methods at some stage of your degree programme. All students will experience various forms of learning activities, each of which serves a valuable purpose. Lectures Lectures are the most traditional form of teaching. They allow lecturers to give information to a large number of students. Even if notes are provided you should listen carefully and make your own notes on the important points.
Most lecturers allow time during or at the end of the lecture for questions.
Seminars Seminars are discussion groups with your tutor and around 15 or 20 other students. The discussion could be about a previous lecture or a specified topic. Seminars are more informal than lectures and allow you to become more involved. Ask a question if you want something explained more clearly, and try to make a contribution. Preparation and reading beforehand can be very helpful.
