Bret mentioned (If I understood right) that his institution found no significant correlation between student success and decreased developmental class size, but that the data was suspect.
While we expect that smaller class size increases student success have any of you found this is the case at yourcolleges? In other words changing very little about the course except section size, did the pass rate go up? What size were your sections? I'm wondering what the "magic number" for section size is.
