[quote=Anonymous]"Stanford University reports that 12% of classes have 50 or more students, while 69% have fewer than 20 students." This stat tells/doesn't tell you lots of important things. This stat tells you about the classes being held at this school. It doesn't tell you anything about the class sizes taken by the average student at this school. Most big schools offer thousands of classes over four years. That's 8 semesters or 12 quarters. Nobody is going to take more than about 40 classes in total. It's very possible that at a big state school you would have 30+% of students taking almost nothing but the classes that fall into the 12% above (those with 50 or more students). The people majoring in Italian Literature might only take 2-3 classes with 50 or more students over the course of their entire college experience. BTW- 50 or more students could mean 300+ or it could mean 51. [/quote]
