Talk:Study circle

Madrasas[edit]

I removed the following session. When I checked the reference tehre was nothing about Study circles, just stuff about medieval universities.Leutha (talk) 21:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The term 'academic circles' may have origins in the Madrasa system of Islamic legal education, where students "sat in a circle around their professor", and the concept was later found in the medieval university system in Europe.^[1]
