How does the tutorial system of teaching differ from other teaching methods?
The tutorial system is the traditional method of teaching in Oxford and is like no other. Tutorials comprise one to one (or one to two/three) exploration of student’s work. You will be expected to present defend and discuss work it with a subject specialist, and are encouraged to develop your ideas and articulate them clearly. Teaching may also be in lectures, classes and seminars. Seminars and classes differ from tutorials in the degree of interaction and class size. Most students are taught in all forms during their study at Oxford.
