[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between 35 is 20 students is a profound difference in the depth and quality of the feedback students will get from a professor on their essays or projects. This seems to be lost on many of the people here. I guess such people are used to multiple choice and fill in the blank assessments and can’t imagine any difference in these two scenarios except needing 15 more desks in a room. [/quote] +1 Classes which require discussion and written assignments ideally should have fewer than 30 students per class. Family members have attended Northwestern. Good mix of class sizes. Intro econ courses had large lecture with small break-out groups. Most classes had between 9 students to 18 students. This probably varies by major. Last family member to attend was a triple major and almost all classes had fewer than 20 students.[/quote]
