Another form of academic teaching is lecturing, 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.

[[Name-of-the-Father]] was to be the next [[seminar]], but only a single session was given, on November 25, 1963, at [[Sainte-Anne Hospital]].
[[Lacan]] stopped giving this [[seminar]] when he learned that the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]] had refused to reinstate him as a [[training]] [[analyst]].
Each [[seminar]] contains approximately 25 presentations from the weekly seminar]].
While each presentation is supposed to pick up and follow on from the week before, the connections can often be tenuous.
Unlike the ''[[Écrits]]'', the [[seminar]]s are not difficult to read, but it can still be hard to follow the train of associations and links that [[Lacan]] makes.
Usually, though, in a performative flourish [[Lacan]] will pull the whole presentation together in the final moments and provide a startlingly clear and understandable formulation of what he has been talking about.
The individual [[seminar]]s that make up [[Lacan]]'s [[seminar]] are as follows:

== Definition ==
A [[seminar]] is a form of academic teaching, at a university or offered by a commercial or professional organization, 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 [[[[seminar]]]]s 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, where questions can be raised and debates conducted.
Another form of academic teaching is lecturing, 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.
