Ok hmm this maybe a really odd question but was just chatting to Mystifymysoul about uni lectures and stuff.
Was just wondering what are they like? What actually goes on?
You see on tv etc just some dude chatting and people taking notes, is that what its really like?
Suppose it depends on the subject, was just wondering. Odd question but meh

Mine used to be like that - sitting and taking note while someone was talking to you.
Tutorials and seminars are different as they are in smaller groups so they are more question/answer sort of thing.
most of them are sit and take notes, the size of the room depends on the size of the class.
because im doing a science subject i also have labs, there informal in as much as, talk to the lecturer and ask questions throughout if you need to.
im the only person on my course, so from the begining there have always been modules that are only compulsary for me, however until this year i i have managed to avaoid being the only person taking them.
its very strange having a 2 hour lecture on your own in the lecturers office, its not very formal because theres no reason for me to not but in and ask questions as im not disturbing anyone else. (he's sexy tho so its not that bad )
like everyones said it depends on your course- we have one lecture a week which is basically 100 of us sat in a lecture theatre watching a power point, listening to the lecturer and taking notes. the rest of our time is spent in seminars where there are about 30 of us and we do group activities and stuff.
it might be a combined course where part of it is the same as one course and another part is part of another.
just a theory
But had a module where it was basically made up of discussion, and have one now, where the lecturer frequently asks questions and for opinions.
generally a lecturer just stands at the front behind a stand thing and talks. most of the time they put a powerpoint presentation up.
i do some environmental modules and some biology modules.
there are some that are compulsary for me and not for other people. this is one of them. i cant have my degree without the module and its not on anyone elses module list so its just me and the lecturer
We have all the info we need in course books and t'internet
sit down, get stuff out, lecturer talks, people take notes and one or 2 talk to lecturer after
i have management seminars which contain about 30 people and we all discuss case studies in groups and then present answers to the rest of the class.
i have french language seminars containing about 12 people and we all take notes from the teacher and discuss things -all in french.
then my language class of about 10 poeple where we take it in turns to do french presentations and then debate on them.
can't wait to finish
