Seminars involve presentations of new material by staff, and are a useful way to explore questions, concepts and theories. They also include activities to work independently and in small groups to carry out practical tasks such as analysis of literary and non-literary spoken, written and digital texts, creative group tasks, individual and group presentations, peer commentary and feedback, research projects. These help you develop your creative, critical, group-work and communication skills. These include blog, vlog, forum, and wiki participation and help students to develop skills in writing, communication skills, IT and online collaboration. These activities also help to develop your independent learning skills. A lot of your learning at university takes place outside classroom sessions. Classes are designed to facilitate your autonomous learning, during which you will have the opportunity for critical self-reflection or space for self-directed reading or research. An example might be a research or practical project linked to a module's learning outcomes that you work on independently or with a small group supported by your tutor. This might then form the basis for a seminar presentation.
