it was stupid of them to hold lecturesin a room with wireless internet.
but they can't really do anything about it, the lectures are far too big to pay attention to individual students, unless they do something stupid like neglect to turn their cellphones off.

that's truein lower division classes at UM, I'm sure it's as bad as it was at UF, with 500 to 1200 students in lectures. They'd have to pay me so much stinking money to teach in a room like that. I'd go nuts.

ayk!maybe 500, but definitely not 1200! usually they're around 200.
1200 would be more like michigan state. apparently they have lectures where half the class isn't even in the same room as the lecturer, they have to watch him or her on a tv screen.

UF is like thatin a few classes.
Once a student hits second semester, second year, though, the class sizes usually drop dramatically. For me, I only had two classes of about 500. All the rest were "normal" (under 50). By the time I was a junior, I never had a class bigger than 30.

ah, see,i never had a discussion session larger than 30. all my lectures were 200 or over.
but every art studio class was 20 or under, so as a freshman i lucked out.
