 The basic unit of studies at SEAS is a course.  There are two basic course types, seminars (practical courses) and lectures (theoretical courses).  Exams, consultation, and thesis writing are also technically courses.

 === lecture
 Lectures are courses held in larger lecture halls for the whole student body. Although attendance at lectures is highly recommended for the successful completion of the course, it is usually not mandatory (the curriculum indicates where it is), the only obligation is taking the end-term examination.
 === examination course
 An examination course only consists of an examination.  Some examination courses are linked to a lecture course that is not offered in every term.  These typically require you to have taken the given lecture course in an earlier term, failing to take its examination.  Language examinations are always examination courses, though they are often preceded by language seminars.
-== COURSE TYPES IN SPRING 2021
+== course types in lockdown
-Courses at SEAS in autumn 2020 and spring 2021 fall into several categories.  By default, seminar courses offered to first-year BA students are on-campus courses (ONC), while most other courses (lectures and those offered to higher-year BA students and MA students) are remote courses.  Lectures are typically asynchronous remote courses (ASY); seminars are typically synchronous remote courses (SYN).  Any course may depart from these defaults, so make sure you check all courses you plan to sign up for.

 By joining an on-campus course, you indicate that you will be able to attend the course in person. By joining a remote course, you confirm that you have access to the internet and an appropriate device and software to participate in the course.
-Depending on the circumstances, all courses may have to turn into remote courses during the semester.
