Each Course Guide describes the prescribed development of its lecture series. However it is important to note that in some cases lecturers may deviate from the stated plan in order to recap or investigate a topic in more depth for your benefit. If this should be necessary the lecturer will let you know at the time. The Purpose of Seminars Seminars act as fora for more open discussion of issues raised in the reading and the lectures. You are expected to prepare for seminars by reading the material set for the related lecture, by thinking about your observations and by preparing questions in advance.
Some seminars vary in structure.
For example, they may focus on a directed task or exercise. E.g. group discussion on anonymous short written pieces, discussion of prepared essays drafts, and so on. The aim is to explore plausible ideas and arguments and to see where they lead.
