I know all of my student's names, and my largest class size is 30. I know most of their majors and where they are from. I grade their work and lecture to them - there are no TAs. Couldn't pay me enough money to go teach at a 4-year university. Hate the fake college degree.

Although it's pretty much the same here. Though then again it depends on what kind of classes you're taking. My Computer Science classes are 150 people. My Philosophy classes are 15 people in size.

I had no idea you Americans had such huge class sizes. When I was in school, my average class size was between about 8 and 18 people. Great video.

Student will get less attracted. Student need to participate to get active, plain reading is a waste of time. In my college all the lecturer read back what on notes. Student will get less attracted.

CAD design in SolidWorks. I can't even USE SolidWorks because it doesn't run on Ubuntu... I'm bored and off to wikipedia! Bye! Students online in class?

Not wasting time going to math and CS classes is a major time saver. In most of those classes, the professor will just read the course notes to you. So, unless you can't read, there are better things to do. I do about 4 hours of school related things a day, on average.
