Component: The format of the class offered, (such as LEC, RSD, LAB)

• Lecture: Faculty-delivered instruction to multiple students often, but not always, in a classroom setting. A lecture or standard class is the primary portion of a course that is often delivered face to face.  While it is usually presented in a small or large group setting led by a faculty member, the course might also be very interactive and include group activities.  Note: A course typically taught as a “lecture” class should always be labeled as a “lecture component.” 
• RSD: Recitation/Seminar/Discussion:  Usually a smaller class focusing on greater interaction between the instructor and students that meets in a group setting to discuss topics.  This format can include discussion sections related to a lecture course, or a stand-alone class.
• Lab: A class or the “practice” portion of a course in which experimentation, class projects or other exercises or skills are performed in conjunction with material presented.
• Independent Study: One-on-one instruction allowing for greater individualized learning and self-direction.  Individual study may be directed studies that are based on an agreed topic between instructor and student.  Topics may include but are not limited to research, problems, and readings.
