Room Layout
- BACK ROWS FEEL TOO DISTANT FROM THE PROFESSOR. Students report that it is easy to be anonymous in the back rows.
- MISSING CENTER AISLE. Room is not designed for faculty to interact with student groups--or even to walk among students and check in with them while lecturing.
* Sitting up front is awkward as the professors often look over your head.
* Sitting in the back, you feel very detached from class.
* As a result the middle section fills up fast.
* Sitting in the middle has problems of it's own. It is nearly impossible to get assistance from a professor as they have to climb over several other students in order to get to where you are.
* The dim lighting creates a sleepy atmosphere and when the professor is so far away, you feel disengaged and it becomes difficult to pay attention.
