Duke Statistics vs. Northwestern MMSS

<p>how big are class sizes usually, and how are classes structured/conducted?</p>

<p>I believe that MMSS classes are somewhere between 20-30 students per section. None of the math courses here go over 40 students, and that’s for the standard calculus sections. They have a discussion which is about 20 students, and which is TA-led. Dunno if MMSS is structured similarly.</p>

<p>I do know that it’s curved (surprise), and I believe that someone who gets below a C (or C-, can’t remember) gets dropped from the program.</p>

<p>The loop is a half hour to an hour away, depending on what you use to get there, and what time it is.</p>
