Guidelines for Seminar of Final Year BE
This document will help students to understand the need of seminar & requirement of report
required for partial fulfilment of degree of SGBAU.
To understand the concept in details a question answer based pattern is followed which will
help to understand in more details.
1. What is the Point of Seminars?
It is important to understand why seminars from part of your university experience. In order for you
to get the most out of your seminars,
1.1 What is a seminar?
A seminar is generally understood to be a small group meeting in which students and a tutor discuss
information on a chosen topic. They may be called something else such as "tutorial groups".
Seminars provide an opportunity to explore topics by discussion, and to identify and sort out any
problems. Some tutors may use the opportunity to introduce new related topics. Most seminars last
for an hour. Seminars need not necessarily be face-to-face contact, they can also occur in online
environments.
1.2 Who does what?
Often a seminar is led by a student who prepares and presents the topic and kicks off the discussion.
So that the seminar is of benefit to everyone, it is the responsibility of the other students to
contribute their ideas, opinions and questions. For this to work well these contributions should have
been researched and prepared in advance. The tutor's role is as a facilitator. Their aim is not to 'give
a mini lecture' but to try to encourage contributions from all those present by asking questions that
stimulate further discussion. At the end of the seminar they may sum up and draw some conclusions.
1.3 Why have seminars?
Seminars create opportunities to:

Explore topics in more depth;

Share ideas in a way that will advance your thinking;

Learn from other people's experiences and background knowledge;

Gain perspectives and points of view that you might not have otherwise considered;

Identify and sort out any misunderstandings.

1.4 What's in it for you?

1.4.1 Opportunity to clarify and deepen your understanding and increase your confidence in the
topics studied.
Before you can express your ideas in a group discussion you need to get them straight in your head.
Often when we communicate our ideas to others the process of putting our thoughts into spoken
form enables us to help clarify them further. It may also allow us to see things in a way that we had
not done before. In a seminar, the group shares the responsibility for keeping control of the
discussion. This gives you the chance to gather your own thoughts before you present them against
the different points of view that are offered by the other participants. In this way, a group can

collectively advance their level of thinking through an effective combination of independent reading
and group discussion. As you become more familiar, and in turn more confident, with discussing as
a group, the discussions will become closer to the level of ideas that you are reading in texts.
1.4.2 A comfortable environment in which to practice and develop a range of valuable study
skills and transferable skills.
By taking part in your seminars you will learn more about your subject area, and become more
comfortable with the language of your subject area. Terms which before you thought were
unnecessary jargon now have some meaning. Besides that, you will have the opportunity to
develop a wide range of skills that will enable you to get a good degree and make you a more
employable graduate.
Listed below are some of the skills - often called transferable skills - that you will be developing:

Listening

Sharing knowledge

Negotiation

Time management

Leadership

Developing an argument

Teamwork

Oral communication

Collaborating with people

from different backgrounds

Taking responsibility

Dealing with
opinions

Producing and using visual

aids

conflicting

1.4.3 Ideal chance to build a up network of peer support.

One of the best things about attending a seminar is discovering that other students are experiencing
the same difficulties as you. By sharing your concerns you will be able to put get them into
perspective. You will also come to realize that there are different ways of approaching the same
topic. In a seminar, the onus is on sharing ideas and working together to enable everyone to become
more familiar and confident with the course content. Seminar groups often become supportive of
each others efforts.
