I didn't know you were a female!


Anyway, 4 in one of my advanced math classes... can't remember which course it was - abstract algebra or numerical analysis or real analysis... one of those. Me and 3 girls 🙂
 
2 in detention for swearing in German class.

Those were fun fun times.

Hey we were swearing in German!
 
diff eq w/ intro to linear alg recitation was suppose to be like 18-20 people
i was the only person there for the first 20-30 minutes then 1 other person showed up for the rest of the class

it was like having my own personal tutor who couldn't speak english
 
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.
 
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.

HI All

The smallest class I took was a sex education class. Susan held this class in the back seat of her fathers 98 Ford Taurus. It was the only class i ever took that i never skipped. Never would i play hooky because i was gettin plenty of nooky!!
 
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 🙂

my business statistics class had about 4 people left during the final. The class was full (40+) originally.

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.
 
My art appreciation, carried over to drawing one, has 4 other people in it...

I'm at a private college, Piedmont College.

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

Intro class for new students at the university. About 5 people were there, they ended up being some of my closest friends at college.

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.
 
my physics class had about 12 people enrolled but only about 7 would show. luckily one of the 7 was a playboy model. damn...she was hot! needless to say, i went to all my physics class that semester.
 
I went to a private school for 8th through 12th grade. My graduating class of '94 was two people. Me and one other guy. 🙂
