A class of 1100 at UCB can only be CS 61A.

Note that CS has gotten so popular that intro CS courses at many schools have gotten large. Stanford CS 106A and Harvard CS 50 have had enrollments of over 700 recently.

Lower level political science and math courses can also be large, but not that large generally. Upper level courses (particularly math) get smaller, but you should check online class schedules to see if class sizes are listed, rather than going by assumptions.
