The Student & Instructor Perspective
“As a student, I really appreciated the small class sizes because it allowed me to build relationships with my professors that would not have been possible in a lecture hall setting. Now, as an instructor, the small class sizes enable me to give the same one-on-one support to my students that I enjoyed during my time as a student.”
