Class Size

Harold Raymond: All my classes were small—four or five to ten, and about five of them were tutorials.

Marian Nacke Teeter: The main innovations were the tiny class size and the easy exchanges with teachers and students.

Ruth O'Neill Burnett: I loved the small size of the classes at BMC and their informality.

Robert Bliss: Class size ranged from one (tutorial) to about twelve in Werklehre. Classes were a mixture of younger and older students.

Marilyn Bauer Greenwald: ... all classes were small; inasmuch as I'd been in what was called the "New Curriculum" in high school, neither the class size nor lack of grades seemed unusual.

Gisela Kronenberg Herwitz: ... classes were generally small and permitted a great deal of discussion.... Classes met three times a week as a rule. They were composed of students, although some faculty members or their spouses would also attend. A class of fifteen, I think, was considered large. Tutorials of one to three students, especially in the upper division, were a standard part of the curriculum.
