<p>Heeeyyy This is for the current UCla students</p>
<p>I wanted to know, </p>
<p>how are the classes at Ucla?</p>
<p>Are they small, big or average?</p>
<p>Are they easy to learn from, or so big that it is distracting?</p>
<p>Are the Professors accessible? Classes are overcrowded?</p>
<p>My college counselor just told me to look into these things cause it can be a BIG factor..</p>
<p>So please...enlighten me</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>classes are huge. learning depends on the teacher; half of my teachers have either sucked or been okay. But the size of the class certainly doesn’t help. All the good classes are overcrowded, but its not like you won’t be able to get a seat.</p>
<p>Here’s my opinion on classes. Although we have a reputation for having huge classes, almost every university has large intro classes. Sure we may have 300 person intro classes where at a private university it will only be 150 or even 100 people. But once you get that big anyways, it does’t really make a difference if you’re sitting in a lecture hall with 99 other people or 3,000 other people. You’re still going to be lectured at instead of have direct interaction with professors. Some classes can certainly be so full that every seat is taken, especially the first couple of weeks, but they’re required by law to cap enrollment at safe numbers for the building. Also, professors are required to hold office hours each week and for most classes not a whole lot of people go so there’s pretty good access. If you find the lecture setting intimidating though, there are always other options. A lot of language classes have classes of around 20 and so do some classes in the honors collegium. Also, almost every lecture class has a discussion section attached to it that is about the same size as a high school class and led by a TA. These are a lot more interactive and helpful if you can’t learn by reading the book and lecture. TAs also have to hold a certain number of office hours per week.</p>
<p>Okay so since it depends on the class how about Chemistry or Bio or Psych classes</p>
<p>I’m thnking about going into the Physchobiology major with PreMed classes in there too.</p>
<p>They aiight.</p>
