<p>In my experience, almost all English classes are less than 35 people, and the Honors versions are generally around 15-20 people. Almost all Honors classes are 30 people or less. Don’t have firsthand knowledge of Honors science sections but I’ve heard from friends they are generally 25 to 35 people (popular classes like Intro. Bio/Chem. sometimes have more, while smaller ones like the Honors science sequence might have less.)</p>
<p>Outside major classes, I don’t understand this obsession with access to professors. I’ve taken 2 or 3 large (100-300 person) lectures and hardly ever need to contact my professors. You show up, listen to lectures, and take the test at the end of the term. When I’ve had questions/comments, both the professors responded to my emails promptly. In any case, hardly anybody goes to office hours, so if making yourself known to professors is a priority (even in large lectures), go to office hours and you’ll do that quickly. I’m sure this is advice is true at most other schools, too.</p>
