Seminar
A seminar is, ideally, a small-group teaching situation in which a subject is discussed, in depth, by the participants.
Seminars are not always as small as the optimum maximum of 15 people. In some settings, seminars are hardly indistinguishable from classes or lectures, with the teaching presenting material to the students with minimum interaction.
The Irish Higher Education Authority define seminar as:
Study group in a certain subject conducted by a teacher. (HEA, 2004)
For the Northeast Texas Network Consortium (2002) refer to it thus:
Seminar: Most commonly offered as upper-level and graduate courses, these are small classes of approximately 15 students each, designed to facilitate intensive study of specific subject areas.
