Do graduate students teach many classes?
Approximately 7% of all classes at Syracuse University have more than 50 students. These introductory lectures are taughts by SU professors and the recitation (smaller discussion section) of the lecture will usually have a graduate PhD student leading this portion of the course. It is in this discussion session that you will be able to ask any additional questions you may have. It is a valuable experience to have a graduate student, who is totally immersed within his or her field, guide your understanding of the course material.
