Seminars vs Tutorials

One of my subjects has a seminar instead of a tutorial and I was Just wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between a tutorial and a seminar?

Cheers :)

A tutorial is just sitting around and doing problems/discussing content. A seminar is a combined lecture and tutorial in one. So, you have your lecture and after it, you dont get up and leave, you do your problems/discussion there. If you want to be cynical about it, a lot of people see them as a cost saving measure on behalf of the university.

Depending on the subject, sometimes a seminar will run exactly like a tutorial. This is usually the case for subjects where there are no lectures, only  seminars. So there will be material in your textbook/subject reader that the tutor will cover, but it happens in a tutorial-style way of group discussion/application.
