For Management Education institutions, when they started in sixties, seventies and early eighties, class size was only 30.
That was ideal size, keeping skill building intent of the education in view. However, when it was started as a commercial venture, in later part of eighties onwards, class size kept on increasing to 60, 120 or even beyond.
While knowledge sharing classes could be organised even for larger class sizes of 100, 200 but competencies building classes, workshop styles, ideally could be for 20 to 30 max.
There could be a mix of the two for optimisation of resources. But that does not happen nor it is feasible normally for an institution , if depending on part time or visiting faculty heavily.
However, incidentally, most institutions today focus on maximisation of use of resources for maximisation of generation of surplus.

Each workshop could accommodate 6 - 7 learning groups ( session duration 120 -180 mins) .Frequency of workshops would depend on the curriculum design . this could be once every fortnight thus allowing for resource optimisation ( if that is a driver) .There is ample evidence to favour small group learning .Gautam
Gautam Rajkhowaemail : grajkhowa@aol.comApologies for the brevity of message ; sent on the move--Experience of coaching classes show that even 200/300 students can be taught simultaneously. In School system where individual student needs more attention, some low fees schools are running the classes with as much as 90 students and their students have done equally go in comparison to schools with 30 students.

Subject: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate-I] Smaller Class sizes will lead to higher success
Do you agree? Smaller class size means less than 30. But, is it possible? General practice is more than 60 students mean 2 class rooms. Having more class rooms will be a cost burden on faculty , infrastructure and other overheads.
Request share experiences on this and also handling bigger class size effectively.
