Teaching large classes can be an amazingly rewarding experience but it poses challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Large enrollments can create student disengagement and feelings of alienation, which erode the student’s sense of responsibility, and lead to behaviors reflecting and promoting a lack of engagement. The logistics of larger lecture can also provide a challenge: how does one manage the administration of what resembles a small city? This workshop demonstrates how successful learning experiences in large classes rest on effective planning and monitoring, inclusive teaching, appropriate assessment, and active engagement by professors and students.
