There are also seminars, laboratories and other forms of classes that are designed for students to apply knowledge from lectures, but the professor is usually not involved in these.

Rachel Davenport, a senior lecturer at Texas State University, has taught so many large classes that she jokes she has trouble readjusting to a small seminar room.

In the late 90’s, learning management systems came along and universities said great, now academics don’t need to know any of that technical stuff, they can just use the web interface in the LMS. I was expected to lecture, give tutorials and maybe seminars or laboratories depending on the topic. The LMS is a case in point.
