<p>I don't know anything about these. Why are they titled "seminar" exactly? What makes them different from a regular lecture/discussion class? I see some only meet once a week too. Is there no homework?</p>
<p>What class are you looking at particularly? </p>
<p>Seminars are usually 5-20 people.
Fiat Luxes (1 unit) have little ‘homework’ – readings rather. They meet once a week for 1-2 hours usually. </p>
<p>191 seminars (departmental seminars) are usually research seminars and are writing intensive (I’m speaking mostly about history, sociology, political science…) You can expect to write 15-20 pages ++++ and lots of reading. Although only 4 units, they’re usually some of the more painful upper division courses you’ll have to take. </p>
<p>lower division seminars – e.g. History 97 are reading and writing intensive. You sit there for three hours technically prepared to discuss the week’s readings</p>
<p>Lecture/Section - Basically you sit in a large class (180-300 people) 2-3x a week. You’re assigned readings and some homework. You have section to discuss the material once a week (specifically referring to north campus).</p>
<p>I’m looking at this class: JAPAN C186 JAPAN POETRY&PHILOS</p>
<p>I can’t tell which of those types of lectures this one fits into. Would this be one of the writing intensive ones?</p>
<p>yes absolutely: </p>
<p>3 hour class once a week. 15-17 people enrolled. 4 units. Upper Division. Definitely reading/writing intensive. My guess is a final 10 page paper and one 5 page paper. or something like a final 10-15 page paper with short responses throughout the course. Just depends though. Just send the professor/lecturer/TA an email for the syllabus. </p>
