During lectures, my physics professor sometimes likes to give us a few "lecture questions" - once or twice during a lecture, he'll post up a multiple-choice question on the screen that deals with the material just discussed, and then we all respond using electronic keypads. 2 points for getting the correct answer, 1 point for getting the wrong answer, and 0 points for not answering the question (i.e. not showing up to class). Last class, he posed a lecture question about 15 minutes into class: "Are you here today? [Yes/No]" 100% of the class answered correctly. And then another question, "dealing with what we just talked about," towards the end of class: "Are you still here? [Yes/No]" 99% of the class answered correctly. :lol: Usually the questions aren't so easy. :rolleyes: |

There were 98 of us that day (out of 140 people who are supposed to be in class). One jokester actually answered "no" for that second question. :rolleyes: |

I always suspected that they crammed so many people in university lectures as it increased the probability that someone, anyone would leave having learned something.

Just that one and musicology are so big. I think there are about 100 students in my musicology lecture class. Linguistics has about 20 students, Rabbinic Literature has about 10 students, Yiddish Literature & Folklore has about 10 students, Musicology (discussion) has 6 students, and Piano performance has 1 student.

When I was in university, my largest class (an English Lit class with a teacher who was rumoured to be the easiest on campus) had just over 200 students in the lecture hall. My smallest had 4 of us. The average, for me, was around 18-25 - but I was in a very specialized program. Most of the Liberal Arts courses at the same university had about 50 students per section. Not a bad teacher to student ratio, as far as universities go. |
