Ordinary (lecture) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

An Ordinary was a type of lecture given in universities of the Middle Ages. Lectures were distinguished by the time of day they were conducted: an ordinary was conducted by fully qualified professors on fundamental texts in the morning, while extraordinary lectures were given in the afternoon by bachelors (the medieval equivalent of a graduate student) on less important texts.[1]

Notability

And I wasn't able to find any other places where it was used. Mathwriter2718 (talk) 12:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
