Click on the table below to enlarge. Also note that the UVM administration appears to have counted as "small classes" credit hours that students take as independent study/readings and research, internship, honors, and clinical/field experience--obscuring the impact of the cancellation of 87 12- to 19-seat small classes. But even working with the administration's distorted data, the evidence is clear: If faculty layoffs proceed, small- and medium-size classes at UVM are declining while large and "supersize-me" classes are on the rise.
