seminars

A seminar is a form of academic teaching, normally at a university in small groups where students are requested to actively participate during meetings. This often has to be done by presenting a paper in class and also in written form. Normally, participants must not be beginners. The idea behind seminars is to confront students with the methodology of their chosen subject and also to familiarise them with practical problems that might crop up during their research work. Often a seminar will be open to discussion, often questions can be raised and debates conducted.Another form of academic teaching is lecturelecturing, a form which involves larger student groups with less active participation. In some European universities a ''seminar'' can be a large lecture course, especially when conducted by a renowned thinker, regardless of the size of the audience or its participation in discussion.

Origins of the word - The word ''seminar'' is derived from the Latin word ''seminarium'', meaning "seed plot."

Homeland Security Defense Coalition
The Homeland Security Defense Coalition and Homeland Security University project was formed to provide one source for counter-terrorism training and education. The Homeland Security Defense Coalition and Homeland Security University project has recruited national and international counterterrorism experts to design and develop proactive courses to prevent the next terror attack, not just respond to it after it happens. Although several so called homeland security programs have cropped up post 9/11, they are the same only criminal justice and military science programs with a mild change in courses. Our programs are designed and taught by counter-terrorism and topic specific experts. Our programs range from two-day seminars in homeland security to a certificate or diploma in homeland security. Once we meet state educational regulatory compliance and begin the accreditation process, we will be offer undergraduate through graduate degree programs in public administration with a concentration in homeland security. The Homeland Security Defense Coalition and Homeland Security University project has been four years in the planning post 9/11. Our plans include opening 60 campuses across the USA and abroad. Our first campus is scheduled to open in 2006.
