<p>According to USNews, less than half of Cornell's classes have under 20 students, and one fifth of all classes have over 50 students. I was wondering whether large classes are limited to only intro courses, or if they persist onto more advanced lectures.</p>
<p>Also, if any current bio students are reading this, how do the bio class sizes compare to those of the rest of the college?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>
<p>Higher level courses tend to have fewer people in them. But it really varies. </p>
<p>Last semester I was in Psych 101, which had over 800 students. This semester I'm in German 202, which has 2 (including me).</p>
<p>Bio classes are LARGE. I hadn't taken a bio class under 100 people till this semester (2nd semester of my junior year). All of the classes required for the bio major (Bio 101-104, Bio278, Bio281, Bio331-332) will have 200+ people (except for Bio 281 Genetics but that's because it's offered both semesters).</p>
<p>in ilr, most of the intro classes are big (there's about 6 of them) with some being medium (50-70) students, and the rest (the majority) are around 15-25.</p>
<p>upper level humanites courses (English, History, Philosophy, Government, etc..) often have 10 or less people in them...</p>
<p>Norcalguy, would you still recommend taking bio at Cornell, inspite of the large classes? Are the bio proffs still accessible?</p>
<p>The professors are more than accessible. And I tend to like big classes. I'm the kinda kid who likes to just sit and chill in the back during lectures.</p>
