Seminar. A seminar is, generally, a form of academic instruction, either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization. It has the function of bringing together small groups for recurring meetings, focusing each time on some particular subject, in which everyone present is requested to actively participate. This is often accomplished through an ongoing Socratic dialogue[1] with a seminar leader or instructor, or through a more formal presentation of research. Normally, participants must not be beginners in the field under discussion (at US and Canadian universities, seminar classes are generally reserved for upper-class students, although at UK and Australian universities seminars are often used for all years). The idea behind the seminar system is to familiarize students more extensively with the methodology of their chosen subject and also to allow them to interact with examples of the practical problems that always occur during research work.
Lecture. Lecture attendees at a software development conference A lecture (from the French 'lecture', meaning 'reading' [process]) is an oral presentation intended to present information or teach people about a particular subject, for example by a university or college teacher. Lectures are used to convey critical information, history, background, theories and equations. A politician's speech, a minister's sermon, or even a businessman's sales presentation may be similar in form to a lecture. Usually the lecturer will stand at the front of the room and recite information relevant to the lecture's content. Though lectures are much criticised as a teaching method, universities have not yet found practical alternative teaching methods for the large majority of their courses.[1] Critics point out that lecturing is mainly a one-way method of communication that does not involve significant audience participation. Therefore, lecturing is often contrasted to active learning.

Back to top Prepare the structure of the talk carefully and logically, just as you would for a written report. The objectives of the talk? The main points you want to make?
Make a list of these two things as your starting point Write out the presentation in rough, just like a first draft of a written report. Read from a script. Remember to mark on your cards the visual aids that go with them so that the right OHP or slide is shown at the right time. The Aggressive Question: Attack without Assertion. Questions can be used aggressively. Using questions in this way can hamper communication and create bad feelings in a relationship. There are several ways this can happen:Answering a question with a questionAsking a question when a statement would be clearer and more assertiveAsking a question when you feel judgmental toward the other personAnswering a question with a question can be a way to avoid or push away the questioner. This inhibits a working relationship. Suppose someone says, "What is your plan for starting the new project we're supposed to work on together?
"If you respond, "Why are you in such a hurry to start? " you have responded in a mildly aggressive way. The mildest response to an aggressive use of questioning is to look at the other person and say empathically, "I imagine you want to say something to me about XXX.
