  15. My school handles large lecture sections by using OMR "black-in" tests.
  16. This avoids having to grade 600 essays.
  17.  
  18. I suppose the actual section sizes are 100-400 students.  Often a professor
  19. will teach 2 or 3 sections of the same course.
  20.  
  21. We usually get essay quetions in the upper level courses which are
  22. considerably smaller.
