One important skill that is required in college is the ability to
conduct a seminar. A seminar is an opportunity for the class to
participate by contributing information obtained after careful reading
and preparation. In our seminar, a group of students will be
responsible for presenting information to the class. In addition, the
class will have also read the critical essay and will be prepared to ask
questions and, possibly, dispute opinions presented by the seminar
leaders.
