[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I don’t see anyone denying that impacted majors exist, that housing is a big issue at nearly all of the UC’s (apart from UCLA’s triples), that there are in fact some classes with more than 1000 kids enrolled, etc. . .   We are just being told it doesn’t matter, which of course is personal opinion.  To me, it matters.[/quote]

DP.  I have no connection with UCLA or any school in CA.  However, I find it laughable that you keep insisting there are some classes with "more than 1000 kids enrolled."  Please provide a citation.  And virtual classes do not count.  Show us one school that has a lecture hall of 1000 or more students.  [/quote]

I don’t know for sure but if I were running an underfunded under resourced school, I might open registration to hundreds more kids than the physical spaces on campus allow, and then just leave it up to the kids to make it a free for all get to class 35 minutes early to get a seat or be SOL. Because I would really GAF about the individual students as I succumb to the pressures of trying to handle the masses.

Just my guess.

Or, are those student stories fiction? [/quote]

I'm still waiting for the citations showing which universities have "1000 students in a class."  Because we all know that's a complete lie.[/quote]

Berkeley Computer Science 61 A and 61B has well over a 1000 students enrolled.  Not sure what you mean by “virtual classes” but I would avoid schools that teach in that method.  We all know its a poor substitute for in person teaching after Covid remote learning.  Econ 1 and Poly Sci 179 also have more than 500 students.

You know exactly what is meant by virtual classes and even in 2024, most universities still have some of their sections online.  Also, where is your link/citation?[/quote]
