Student to faculty ratio

“The whole idea of anonymity in large lectures is odd. Why is it good to be anonymous? I get the whole deal with missing a class because you stayed out to late or couldn’t focus because you were hungover. Been there done that. When kids talk about missing classes like it’s a badge of honor, I have to ask myself why are they there? That happens less when there is a small intimate setting involved. People actually care if you show up. That’s part of the maturing process in college. Making good decisions. Perhaps for the first time in many students lives, their actions actually have consequences.”

There are cultures where being anonymous is preferred.
