Is class discussion required in all SC sections, or are lecture sections available for students who prefer that format?
The prominence of “seminar” in this course’s title emphasizes the significant role of discussion in all sections: there are no lecture sections of SC. As a seminar, each SC course should nurture critical conversation about composing and increase participants’ attention to the implications of the many choices writers make. Even though some class time may occasionally be set aside for brief lecture, discussion remains central to the work of all SC sections.
