In some european universities, a seminar may be a large lecture course, especially when conducted by a renowned thinker (regardless of the size of the audience or the scope of student participation in discussion). Some non-english speaking countries in europe use the word seminar (e.g., german seminar, slovenian seminar, etc.) to refer to a university class that includes a term paper or project, as opposed to a lecture class (i.e., german vorlesung, slovenian predavanje, etc.). This does not correspond to english use of the term.
