How do graduate courses differ from undergraduate courses?
Graduate courses are typically smaller in size than undergraduate courses. This offers students an opportunity for greater discussion and a more in depth analysis of the issues presented in the course. There are generally more presentations, student led learning, and analytical papers. In comparison, undergraduate courses focus on information presentation and retention, tested via smaller papers and multiple choice exams. Some graduate courses, for example Statistics, may bridge the learning experiences of undergraduate and graduate courses.
