[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UC Berkeley- Undergraduate classes with less than 20 students - 52.9% 20-49: 27.7% 50 or more: 19.4% So over 80% of undergraduate courses at UC Berkeley have less than 50 students. Stanford, Cornell, Michigan, MIT, CMU, USC are also in the 80s. [/quote] The statistics are misleading, because small classes are not evenly distributed across the various departments. At Berkeley (and probably all UCs), freshmen intro classes and cs /stem classes are huge. Let's say a school with 2000 students has 50-50 CS and English majors. And students may only enroll in one class per semester. If this school offers two 500-student CS classes and 50 20-student English classes, the school can claim 50/52 or 96% of their classes have 20 students. Yet 50% of the population will experience the huge 500-student CS classes.[/quote]
