Thanks,... Phil, for the info. Didn't know that. I did find the question I linked to there, but only under "KudoZ open glossary," not under "KudoZ"--they had to make this confusing, didn't they?

As for Proseminar, I can't remember having seen this even once during my time at uni and I didn't know this was used in English (which is why, apologies to Kartik, I deleted my agree, as I initially thought this was a DE-DE question).

Still not sure how many people will understand what's meant here, but I did find a few UK references:

https://www.bbk.ac.uk/courses/modules/sspl/SSPL160S7
https://pureportal.coventry.ac.uk/en/publications/diversity-...

However, the last one seems to be a "doctoral proseminar," the second requires students to hold a presentation. Neither seems to match the explanations in DE.

Best wishes

Björn You can search for entries with fewer than three characters, but Hermien is right in saying that this term doesn't come up. I agree that it's better to use Google to search the glossary - you can just enter the term plus "proz".

I wasn't familiar with 'proseminar'. Webster's says 'a course of study like a graduate seminar but often open to advanced undergraduates.'

Hello Hermien I think you can't even search for glossary entries with fewer than 3 characters. That's why I use Google for this.

Typing in the term there and adding site:proz.com will yield much better results. Has been that way for years, unfortunately.

Best of luck!

Missed that Hi there, I did search the gloss, obviously my skills area somewhat lacking - thanks!

Björn Vrooman Nov 14, 2023:

OK,... ...we've had this before, apparently:
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/education-pedag...
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/education-pedag...

Something like this here maybe:
https://www.ucdenver.edu/first-year-experiences/seminars

But since I also have little time, I can only provide these few references right now.

Best of luck!
