Because of a phenomenon that Knowles terms 'verticality,' science concentrators must take many more prerequisites before they can advance to smaller classes. Conversely, English and history classes are more likely to be based on a topic for which a student is not required to have any prior knowledge.
Knowles expressed concern for the fact that first-years do not have the opportunity to indulge in the world of small classes.
"Also, look for Dean Knowles and the Faculty to design ways of offering small courses to freshmen in far greater numbers than our Freshman Seminar program is now able to do," Todd says.
Knowles says that in the coming years, the goal of the Faculty is to decrease the student-faculty ratio and improve relations between professors and students.
"Over the next decade, we want to increase the size of the faculty while keeping the college the same size," Knowles says.
