What is the difference between lecture and seminar courses?
The main difference between a lecture and seminar course is the class size. Lower level lecture courses may have up to 240 students in the class and include a mandatory tutorial section. Upper level lecture courses have a maximum of 50 students in each class. Seminar courses have a much smaller class size and often combine an undergraduate and graduate section. Generally there are 20-25 undergrad students and 5 graduate students in a seminar course and it is offered once a week for 3 hours.
