Variation in Class Size, the Class Size Paradox, and Some Consequences for Students
Feld, Scott L.; Grofman, Bernard
Research in Higher Education, 6, 3, 215-22, 77
Three consequences of class size variation are examined: (1) The average class size experienced by students is directly related to the amount of variation in class size; (2) Overall student attendance is inversely related to the amount of variation in class size; and (3) overall student participation time is directly related to the amount of variation in class size.
