  • Now we're still in the old science center because I wanted to show you a little lecture.

  • Huh?

  • Huh?

  • This is probably our biggest one.

  • I think you see at least 100 people.

  • I had social psychology in here, which is probably about 40 people, and that was definitely one of my larger classes.

  • I think my largest classic, Amherst, was probably 50 or so people when it was Cal.

  • Three or multi variable calculus.

  • Amorous, really does try to keep classes thio around 20 students.

  • Um, probably a little bit larger for, you know, science courses like Intro Cam or Intro psych or anything.

  • And so, with those sort of classes, you may find yourself in lecture situations.

  • But even then, Professor's really do try to engage with the students and ask questions and even to some extent, get to know us.

  • They were professors.

  • I've never had a professor who didn't know my name.

  • Um, and there are programs in place so that we can get to know them.

  • You know, there is office hours where we can go to our professor's office and ask questions on these happen several times a week on.

  • So these computers questions on the homework.

  • These could be like you can talk about your personal life if you want.

  • There is also a system called Type O, which is Take your professor outs, and Amherst will actually pay for groups of students to take their professors out to a restaurant in town once a semester, um, and share a meal together.

  • And so that's really nice.

  • Honestly, like Amherst really facilitates close faculty to student relationships like I've had students or I've had professors who have invited my classes to their homes, for meals to their homes for classes.

  • It's really not uncommon for students to really like no other professors and, you know, we grow fond of each other.

  • So it's it's really sad.

Now we're still in the old science center because I wanted to show you a little lecture.
