The size of your typical class has about two thousand, 200 students enrolled. Every semester. I teach a couple of the lecture sections that are anywhere from two hundr 50 to 400 students at one time. They all built throuh the same contents. But we don't even have a facility that could teach all of them in one room. It's broken up with a couple of other wonderful instructors that are part of my instructional team.

Quotes from the episode
