K. Lewin, who has put forward group dynamics based on histheory of psychodynamics in the 1940s, perceives that group is not formed based on physicalapproximation or simple similarity of the members, but on the fact that a group ofinterdependent people gather together [1]. According to the theory, a person's behavior (B) isthe result of internal demand (P) and external environment (E), which can be expressed byB=f (P, E). [2] Meanwhile, he introduced the concepts of group cohesion, pressure andstandard within a group, leadership and performance, individual motivation and group goals,and group structure. [3]2.

But look on the bright side.Large classes offer many opportunities that small classes do not. If you are prepared to takeadvantage of them, you can make large classes work to advantage for yourself and yourstudents. This paper considers the perceived handicaps of large courses, and contrasts themwith a large number of potential benefits, both to students and faculty.Keywords: large classes, active learning, cooperative learning, assessment, teaching assistants,independent study1.
