Tutorials And Articles (2024)

FAQs

What is the difference between article and tutorial? ›

"Article" is a pretty broad term for any grouping of text that provides factual information, usually written in a style that is for general public consumption. The archetypal example is an article in a magazine or a newspaper. "Tutorial" is a collection of information for pedagogical/teaching purposes.

A session given by a tutor is called a tutorial. A tutorial could be a one-on-one session in a tutoring center or elsewhere. A tutorial could also be a small group led by a tutor, in which the tutor helps the whole group with math, history, or another topic.

A tutorial, in education, is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process. More interactive and specific than a book or a lecture, a tutorial seeks to teach by example and supply the information to complete a certain task.

1. : a paper, book, film, or computer program that provides practical information about a specific subject. 2. : a class conducted by a tutor for one student or a small number of students.

A lecture is a formal presentation conducted by your lecturer. They may also be called seminars. These are often recorded ahead of time and posted online for you to watch as part of your directed study. Tutorials are smaller classes which allow discussion of lecture content and assignments.

The purpose of a tutorial (or seminar)

Tutorials are designed to give you a space to engage more actively with the course content. They provide a much better opportunity to get to know your lecturers and fellow students than most lectures offer.

Tutorials might be structured around particular activities or be more free-flowing, giving students the opportunity to raise topics, ask questions and explore ideas. Tutorials involve a much higher level of interaction than lectures do. All students are expected to participate.

Tutorials serve to complement lectures. Specifically, they provide teaching and learning opportunities for which students assemble in (relatively) small groups. That context allows interactions that are not feasible in lectures.

Tutorials are important for your learning because you can:

Prepare for and/or review midterms and exams. Clarify any concepts that you might not understand. Practice presentations (public speaking)

A tutorial is designed to teach a specific skill or concept, while a lesson typically covers a broader range of topics. 2. A tutorial is usually one-on-one, while a lesson can be one-on-one or in a group setting.

What happens in a tutorial? ›

First off, what is a tutorial? Tutorials are conversations between one to three students and a tutor, who is often a leading expert. They occur regularly throughout term, giving you the chance to explore a topic with someone who has dedicated much of their life to its study, yet remains keen to hear your ideas.

Research studies are almost always published in peer-reviewed (scholarly) journals. The articles often contain headings similar to these: Literature Review, Method, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Articles that review other studies without presenting new research results are not research studies.

In a tutorial, students typically study a topic in depth with a faculty member and a small group of students. Tutorials can be a terrific way to get to know a faculty member well, build relationships between a small group of students, and to deeply engage with a scientific topic and scientific approaches.

The main difference is that the courses grant a certification of completion.

Learning/tutorial assignments provide your students' first experience with new material, and are intended to walk students through new concepts and procedures. Skills practice assignments follow learning/tutorial assignments, and let your students apply new concepts and procedures.
