<p>I know this is largely class and teacher specific, but in general are Emory classes discussion based or lecture based?</p>
<p>Lower-level classes are nearly all lecture-based, but some of the upper-level classes are discussion-based. I’d say most are lecture-based, though.</p>
<p>Depends on the syllabus too. </p>
<p>Makes no sense to have a discussion based calc or Chem class because students simply don’t know enough to make meaningful contributions.
Make little sense to have a lecture based freshman seminar or literature class because, for the most part, they are about throwing out ideas. </p>
<p>At all colleges that I know of, introductory science courses are lecture based. tdragone, what are you thinking of majoring in?</p>
