How are the seminars and homework and exams related?
A course’s seminars, homework and examinations are all tailored toward the content of that course. HOMEWORK AND EXAMINATIONS Homework assignments and examinations give the enrollee a chance to demonstrate to the director that she has mastered the course materials. The exams include only the Home Study Guide material, not the seminar material. SEMINARS The seminars offer a focus on an aspect of the course’s subject matter. They also give an enrollee the opportunity to discuss the subject matter of the course with specialists and with other city secretaries. The seminars bring together the knowledge of the specialist with the knowledge of the experienced city secretary in an environment that encourages discussion and the sharing of viewpoints. In the process, enrollees develop professional relationships with other secretaries and clerks.
