Class Size at UGA

How have class sizes changed at UGA over the years? Check out the table below. Look especially at the Lower Division classes with 11-20 students enrolled. Why the jump from 2009 to 2013? My theory is this reflects all those Freshman Odyssey classes, at 15 students per class, that UGA put into motion a few years ago.

The concern, though, is usually those mass mob huge classes. As you can see below, the 200 students and higher classes went down among Lower Division classes (I'm guessing 1000-3000 classes, such as jour3410) and up only slightly among Upper Division classes. So we're seeing no huge bump in those gigantor classes that fill 300-student room in the MLC or, if desperate, Sanford Stadium. It looks to me we're seeing growth in mid-range classes, such as the 31-40 student size among Lower Division classes.
