Classes at Yale range from one-on-one tutorials to small seminars to lecture courses of several hundred students. Seventy-five percent of Yale College courses enroll fewer than twenty students; twenty-nine percent enroll fewer than ten. Only about forty out of all 2,000 courses enroll more than 100 students.

Obviously, popular intro courses tend to be large. My son’s experience has been that TAs grade problem sets and essays, but that classes are taught by the professor. He has had no difficulty making contact with professors.

Yale has a reputation for grade inflation. It has not been the impression that my son has as a CS major. YMMV.
