Large class sizes are often associated with teaching at University level in many subject areas. Instructing large cohorts can be challenging, and it can be difficult with increasing student diversity to create an inclusive and effective environment. But are large classes always bad?
Education at university level needs to be seen holistically, where lectures are one part of the whole teaching and learning experience of students. Small tutorial groups, peer-assisted learning, workshops, practical classes and personal tutorials all help to overcome key challenges such as the provision of excellent assessment and feedback.
