13 Class Types

Seminar-style courses enroll 20 to 25 students, while lecture courses enroll as many as 200. Lecture classes include a discussion section or tutorial of fewer students, which is an important component of the course. Most Australian faculty find that Americans are strongest in their contributions to the tutorials. As a result of the small discussion groups, student interaction with professors is more informal than at IU. This interaction not only helps you master course work, but also provides you with a source of valuable information regarding Australia’s cultural and educational system.
