W: Hi, Jack, I heard that you were studying law in Britain. Can you tell me how the classes are arranged there?
M: Sure. Basically, our classes are made up of two major parts: lectures and seminars. The lectures are just like the general classes in China.
W: You mean, teachers give presentations, and students listen?
M: Yeah. But the students are freer to ask questions. The classroom atmosphere is warmer too.
W: Ok. How about the seminars?
M: In the seminars, students are encouraged to do some case study. In the case study, students are encouraged to share their views with the classmates. Students need to make full preparation. They need not only to study relevant laws, but also to read relevant cases to benefit the class.
W: But what do professors do in the seminar?
M: Professors are only organizers of it. They don’t express their ideas.
W: Does everyone have a chance to express his idea in the seminar?
M: Yes, since our class is very small. Generally, there are only 8 to 10 students in one class.
W: Oh, that is a very small class. How about the lecture? How many students are there in one class?
M: The lecture class is much bigger. Sometimes, there can be more than one hundred of us in one class.
W: I see.
