It depends on the type of classes you’re taking.

Generally, introductory level courses have those huge numbers (I’m in a course with over 600 students). However, once you get into the higher-level courses, especially seminar courses, the numbers drop down a bit (Last term, I was in a seminar course with 15 students. This term, I’m in a 400-level lecture course with about 70 students).

In courses with a large amount of students, it’s essentially down to you to seek out your professors. You can certainly ask questions during lectures (even in those classes with 600+ students) but you can also talk to them during their office hours.
