What's up, guys? This has been today I'm going to be doing in a review of one electoral Sze. I think your house is about one hundred people and it was built in the nineteen nineties around them. Like I said, a lot of people that don't come to lecture because of the radio. I couldn't get more footage because class started and you'd be surprised how quiet two hundred students can get when they're actually paying attention to what they're learning s so basically, the style of Cornell class is like icing most classes in college work. You have usually lectures, usually at the beginning of the week. So on Mondays and Wednesdays, for example, I have my sociology lecture has about an hour long with about three hundred people. At the end of the week, there's a very small discussion section, and so that's more of a traditional classroom setting about thirty people or maybe even less usually. That's where you can mohr intimately talk about stuff you've been learning in class, and so the way they take attendance during discussion section is pretty straightforward. It's how you'd might usually expect attends to be taken in high school or middle school, but for lectures, as you can imagine, since there's so many people, they have to do it in a different method. So usually you'LL be doing clicker questions and hold on one second. Since most lectures are basically power point presentations are more or less glorified power point presentations. Occasionally there will be slides that are used to take attendance. They'LL ask a question, and it will be a multiple choice question on maybe an opinion that you have, for example, in my socially a sociology discussion or some facts that you should have learned from the readings from last night. You turn it on and you press Whatever answer you think it is is, and it's all automated and as basically how it takes your attendance because it's linked tears DOON account. So I believe the student faculty ratio at Cornell is fairly good. I think it's about nine students for every faculty member. Basically it can get a little bit in personal at times just because professors have so many people to teach. In my experience, you can shoot your T a quick email, or you can shoot your professor a quick email, and usually they're pretty responsive, even if they are teaching hundreds of different students. So that's about it for the Cornell class from experience.
