A college seminar is a discussion. It is different than a lecture because lectures may have upwards of 100 or 200 students and lectures are smaller, typically up to 20 students. The purpose of a college seminar is to have a course discussion. Professors may assign readings to prepare before class and the entire time of the seminar is a time to discuss the readings out loud as a class. Professors may also bring in guest speakers to these seminars.
