I've been to many lectures; given by visitors and Professor's colleagues at my own university, but I've never been to a "seminar". I was recently "invited" to attend some graduate seminars at a university that is not the one I'm currently attending.This is my first experience with anything of the sort and I just had some questions:
I received a list of seminars going on this month. Most of them seem very interesting, but I'm not sure if they're going to be over my head. I'm a senior undergrad right now. Basically my question is: are these seminars extremely specialized or more general in content?
Also, what are they like? Are they formal? Are they like a lecture or more like a roundtable discussion? (is everyone in attendance expected to participate in the discussion?)
I've asked a Professor I am pretty close with, and his best answer was "You'll have fun! Those things are great." Not much of a help when you're nervous/anxious about something.
