<p>Wow, Uroogla. I really thought all large classes broke down into sections. Granted I went to Brown years ago, but all my large classes had sections (although I think I had a couple classes with 30-50 students that didn’t break into sections). And I’m pretty sure every large lecture class my daughter took had sections. Which ones don’t?</p>
<p>I did have one professor back in the day who led every single section. He was an amazing guy and very popular prof. All my TAs (and I believe my daughter’s, too) were grad students. </p>
<p>The large classes are almost always intro courses. Some of them are incredible classes. Sometimes a brilliant professor can be a mesmerizing and inspiring lecturer – and you can learn more by listening to him/her speak than discussions around a seminar table.</p>
