AP Seminar 

A class taken by a group of overachievers, aiming to wow colleges by taking a unique class that's supposed to teach them to do college research papers. Upon applying for the class, students often have no idea of what to expect, but are calmed by the idea that they soon will. It's only until the day before the actual AP exam that students realize they still haven't figured out what the class is all about. Yet, when others ask them what the class is all about they are known to recite the exact description published by Collegeboard word for word. And while students often complain about the overwhelming workload, they are secretly comforted by the fact that it's their easiest AP and refuse to let the outside world uncover their darkest secret. The typical AP Seminar student is known for their deep desire to write and publish their own review book on the class in order to profit off the class before opponents such as Barrons or the Princeton Review can.
AP Seminar student applying for course: I have no idea what this course is all about
AP Seminar student day before AP exam: I have no idea what this course is all about

Non-seminar student: "What do you guys even do in AP Seminar?

AP Seminar student: "Oh, we learn really in depth college level research skills and learn to write Master level research papers. The class is all about argument..."

socratic seminar 

A shouting match between a conglomeration of tryhard honor students. Usually the bout is over some particular novel or literary work and is characterized by two or three straight-A students yelling the most and loudest, while the others simply nod and parrot what is said.
During the socratic seminar, all the other students wanted to punch that one girl who would never shut the hell up.

Awkward Seminar 

Of or pertaining to a phenomenon that often occurs in the minds of mentally challenged individuals that causes them to fabricate meaningless terms (usually sexual in nature.) These non existent terms have no meaning and are often inserted in casual conversation by the challenged individual in an attempt to fit into uncomfortable social situations where they often have little or no intelligence to contribute.
I work with a guy who needs to get on medication for his Awkward Seminar, he always says the most meaningless stuff and nobody knows what he is talking about.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
