Week 14, Question 1

Forum is a public discussion where the audience participate and everyone has something to say.A panel is when a group of experts discus a problem in a non-formal setting that tries to keep the audiences attention. But this kind involves no interaction with the audience. A colloquium is when a group of people well connected with the topic speaks to an audience and solves a problem. This form ends in some kind of closure and the people talk in a structured kind of way. A symposium is when people talk on different subjects that they are experts on. they are medium length discussions that hopefully end in some sort of discussion that the speaker leads as well.

The kind I like the best is the panel. Sometimes I like to hear what someone has to say and it is best to just listen then to say how I feel or what my opinion is on the topic. I like informal settings because they seem to be more personal because they connect with you as the listener more. They make you feel more like a friend talking then being forced to listen to someone who knows it all.
