Refer to the texts during the discussion. A seminar is not a test of memory. You are not learning a subject; your goal is to understand the ideas, issues, and values reflected in the text.
It’s OK to pass when asked to contribute, however you must speak at least twice.
Do not participate if you are not prepared. A seminar should not be a bull session.
Do not stay confused; ask for clarification.
Stick to the point currently under discussion; make notes about ideas you want to come back to.
Don’t raise hands; take turns speaking.
Listen carefully.
Speak up so that all can hear you.
Talk to each other, not just to the leader or teacher.
Discuss ideas rather than each other’s opinions, use your TQE's & Reader's Responses to generate discussions.
You are responsible for the seminar.
