Difficult for large classes where professors cannot get to know all students

2025-03-20 17:07:52 UTC

Would not work in larger classes

It can really help the students identify specific points of weaknesses or strengths

2025-03-20 17:09:49 UTC

Less focus on comparison between students

2025-03-20 17:09:50 UTC

In smaller classes, the instructor can highlight more deeply into the personality of a student it

2025-03-20 17:09:55 UTC

Students may feel pressured to stand out to the teacher to earn unique/excellent holistic grades

Office hours would be challenging and crowded as everyone tries to build rapport with the professor

This would be more comparable across institutions but small things may have larger influences

2025-03-20 17:12:00 UTC

Professors or TAs could be biased or have different ways of assessing the students

2025-03-20 17:12:04 UTC

Students may not like it because they think it’s too subjective and biases can creep in

2025-03-20 17:12:25 UTC

Students would be less focused on only getting a good grade and more on learning the material
