Class sizes

<p>I know it depends on your class, but how many people do you guys normally have in your classes? Do you find it distracting at all? Is it still easy to learn?</p>

<p>depending on the subject of the class, class type (Sem , Dis are small usually doesn't exceed 25, general introduction classes usually has huge number of student 200-400) and your class level</p>

<p>Most of the time having the larger classes aren't that distracting unless you have a lot of disrespectful people chatting to one another near you... but, at the same time, that can happen in a smaller class as well. It absolutely drives me crazy.</p>

<p>anywhere from 12 to 250, in my experience.</p>

<p>best way to make a large class feel small: SIT IN FRONT. and you don't need to be in the front row, just aim for the front 1/3 of the lecture hall. all of the annoying talking people sit in the back. and when you don't actually see how many people are in the class, it feels a lot smaller and you can pay attention a lot more easily.</p>

<p>--> schedule of classes [use the terms fall, winter, or spring of any year listed]
--> look at your major's requirements
--> find the courses on the schedule
-----> now you have an idea of how large the classes typically are</p>

<p>liyana, you must have nice people in your classes... i definitely always sit around the 3rd or 4th row from the front or so and i almost always get annoying people talking directly behind me... maybe i have a sign on the back of my head that says "please talk so that i can't pay attention"</p>

<p>I always sit in the first row of my math lecture (that no one ever shows up to anyway) and the second row of my LS2 (MrSpam so very kindly saves a seat for me). You definitely don't have to worry about class sizes, but you have to be careful not to fall asleep! Because you feel that much more guilty for doing so the closer you are to the professor.</p>

<p>The smallest class I've been in is honors collegium 25, which was capped at 20ish. He let in like, 8 more people though. Even though it's a very small class, I find it hard to learn just because the prof teaches in a way I'm not used to. So IMHO, difficulty of a class has nothing to do with how many students are enrolled in it.</p>
