Mix of Large and Small Classes. The University and the Union are aware of the need to maximize the teaching resources and potential of the University and agree that although excessive class sizes for certain disciplines should be avoided, the University and its faculty should experiment with a mix of large lecture classes, medium-sized lecture-recitation classes; and smaller seminar-recitation classes. Such a mix ensures that all Faculty Members teach 24 credit hours per academic year. Thus, the University can offer courses with fewer than five (5) students as regular classes and not as tutorials.
