In our discussion group we talked about how spacing in traditional classes, lectures, and online classes affect people. We said that lecture rooms and very big classes make student and teacher connection weaker. There is less interaction between a teacher and a student in a lecture hall. The teachers do not know the students name so they grade everyone on the same scale and the students do not get the fair credit for their work. Although, in a small class professors know the student’s names and they know that the students should be appreciated for the participation. Students also pay more attention in a smaller class because they know that their professor could ask them questions. There are more opportunities to know your peers and engage in the classroom. Another thing we talked about the class setting for example, students who sit in the front interact more with the professor. We said that online classes are a total opposite because there is no connection half of the time students do not pay attention when they do the online work and there are less chances to learn.
