The role of a seminar leader differs from a lecturer in that seminar teaching is more interactive. As a seminar leader, it is important to get to know students' backgrounds and abilities quickly so you can be flexible in rearranging groups or teaching approaches. An effective seminar encourages participation through interactive activities and discussion to help students develop deeper understanding as well as transferable skills like confidence and motivation. Careful planning of class structure, objectives, and use of interactive techniques tailored to varied learning styles can help address challenges of diverse students and lead to a successful class.
