[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OSU. I was a grad student there. There are certainly huge lectures but they are generally for 101 classes and you still get broken up into smaller groups. Most 200+ level classes are under 50. Obviously this will vary wildly by major. As for TAs teaching instead of professors, a few things: 1) very good professors will probably teach lectures anyway, and that's actually not a bad thing. A high quality professor giving a high quality lecture class is actually a great way to learn; 2) Most professors are mediocre teachers (I say that married to a professor, and knowing many others) so there's no guarantee that having someone with Dr. in front of their name will give a better educational experience than a TA; and 3) some TAs are fabulous. It's all dependent on the person and that is true regardless of the school. [/quote]
