Seminar is a form of academic instruction, either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization. Each student will be given a particular topic in which they would have to do research in depth regarding the subject and present it in front of their classmates and lecturers. Each semester comprises of 3 seminar presentations, each on different subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry or Pathology. The students will be evaluated based on their depth of understanding about the particular topics and also based on their presentation skills. The aim of the seminar is to allow students to carry out self-directed learning especially on topics which were not covered by the lecturers in class. This allows the students to do more readings and researches regarding the particular topic to widen their knowledge regarding that subject. For me, seminar session forms a great foundation for me especially when I have to undertake topics that I could not quite understand in class. It also helps me in organizing my information in a way that could be easily understood by my classmates. Not only does this help simplify the information gathered from reference books, but organizing the information also helps in making me understand and recall the topic better. Overall, the seminar sessions carried out have been nothing but beneficial to me because it drives me to learn in depth about a particular subject and there is nothing I love better than equipping myself with knowledge.
