[quote=Anonymous]Rather than cite the percentage of classes of various sizes, it's more useful to look at the average number of classmates a student has in their classes. At a school like Michigan, most kids are majoring in things that are taught in large lectures. The faculty: student ratio is really misleading there. And while there may be hundreds of courses with 10 or fewer students there, the engineers sure aren't taking more than one or two of them over the course of their four years on campus. Very few Michigan students will have small discussion classes with full faculty. I'm not talking about a section within a class of 400 students that is led by a PhD student. I'm talking about sitting across the table from a tenured faculty with at most 9 other students in the room. [/quote]
