10 people, senior year, Algebra III. It was an AP class for juniors, I had to take it to graduate in 1/2 year.

My Honors Chemistry class. First semester there were over 30 students. Second semester the number dropped to 11. The reason? The teacher was godawful and almost everyone couldn't stand her. I hated that stupid b!tch. God, I hated her.

I really need to find some of these classes. There's a HUGE overenrollment problem at the UW.

Five students. Happened twice in college. Freshman writing class, and Romance Linguistics (that might have been six?).

5 people when I took Optical Systems class. It started with 20 until the professor said he won't teach anyone who didn't take Electromagnetic Fields and it would help if you took E/M waves. 15 people stood up and left.

class of 1.

I need a Shakespeare course to graduate, and none were being offered during my last semester, so I did an independant study with the department head. just me and him... at first, we actually had meetings and he tried to lecture, but we quickly realized that wasn't going to work out too well. heh. we eventually just held class via e-mail. whenever I had a question about the reading I was working on, I'd e-mail the prof, and the professor would randomly e-mail me questions that I'd have to spend a page or two answering (usually along the lines of "what did you think of the ghost scenes in Hamlet? how are they important to the understanding of the plan?").

outside of that, my smallest class was with 5 other people. Honors Biology, at 8 am in the morning. that prof was a demon. haha. he turned out to be the best teacher I ever had in college, but I despised him at the time. there was no text book for the class, and he wouldn't let us take notes. we just had to sit there and pay attention.

I hated it at the time (especially since his tests were the hardest I'd ever taken... all multiple choice, but in addition to the standard a-d answers, there was e) more than one of the above, f) all of the above, or g) none of the above).

It taught me a new way to learn, though. after that class, I stopped taking notes in college; it always bothered my profs that I didn't take notes, since they thought that I wasn't pay attention, but after racking up the A's, they shut up about it :)

sounds kinda like the business stats im in now. started with i think 26, and now we've got 8 that show up regularly and 10 total that didnt withdraw. i wonder why this class is so hard for so many people...i think it's my easiest class this semester...

I don't think any of my graduate-level botany classes (or electron microscopy class) had more than 10 people. Usually fewer than that.

I'm at a private college, Piedmont College.

The assholes are raising tuition $2000... That sucks!

Same here. We ended up meeting in restaruants or at people's apartments, outside, etc. It was a master's level course in Asian history. I was the only undergrad in it.

I went to a private school for 8th through 12th grade. My graduating class of '94 was two people. Me and one other guy. :)
