Part of this may be the difference between large University's and small Liberal Arts Colleges?
I went to a small Liberal Arts School - which seldom had lectures or multiple choice tests, focused heavily on writing and papers. Also class discussion - heavy emphasis. We had maybe 15 people in our classes. One class I had - had only three people and the teacher. We took field trips and would often see a film version of the novel we just read and analyze the differences. I remember reading the play, book, and seeing the film version of Les Liasons Dangereux and comparing in detail - then comparing and discussing the themes and style of Les Liasons Dangereux and Richardson's Clarissa.
