In the academic world, a seminar is a class conducted through discussion… This seminar has two related parts. First, it will introduce students to the history of cheese. Our textbook provides a global perspective while our articles focus on the case of Vermont. Guest lecturers will visit our class to enhance your knowledge of the subject.
