The basic unit of studies at SEAS is a course. Courses are registered by a code. SEAS courses typically contain the string ANG or AME in them.

seminar

Seminars are courses held in groups of usually 10–20 students. Ideally they involve lively discussions, regular attendance, often homework, in-class tests, longer home assignments.

lecture

Lectures are courses held in larger lecture halls for the whole student body. Most lectures do not require attendance (the curriculum indicates if they do), the only obligation is taking the end-term examination.
