Do students still receive the same amount of attention and crits in a 20+ student class as in the promised 15-student class?
Clearly, when class size goes up, time for individual crits goes down. However, it is only in very, very rare instances that class size has gone up to this level. In the Graphic Design Department, we have set the cap on class size at 16 and on average we don’t even reach that cap. The median class size is about 15, which is the ideal class size. In the 80s, class size was up around 20, so class sizes have come down. Again, it’s only in rare instances that it’s up to 20, and only in certain disciplines, and we are looking into rectifying this.
