    Professor implies it’s college/university level so they’re likely young adults who don’t need as much 1-on-1

      Everyone needs good training and can benefit from more attention from the instructor, no matter the age. Being in college or university does not change that.

        I found college classes with small sizes were the worst as they would always adapt to the slowest learners who put no effort. While large lectures don’t do that.

          Huh, in my program it worked out pretty well. The semi-optional third year was a group project thing and there were only four groups. A lot of classes wereore like consultations and it worked great.

          I think your experience probably just came from a lack of skill in teaching. Professors aren’t exactly trained professionals when it comes to communicating anything and boy do I know that. I’ve had some truly godawful professors in the past who weren’t even good that their own jobs let alone teaching us how to do them.
