@krismicinski @wilbowma that's impressive, anything below 12 gets cancelled here unless a student specifically requires *that* course to graduate
@csgordon @krismicinski @wilbowma our situation is similar to what Kris describes, eventually you get yelled at but they don't nuke courses proactively (in my experience at least)
@regehr @csgordon @krismicinski @wilbowma I was sure that nobody except my own PhD students would sign up for the niche grad seminar I taught this year, especially since I put zero energy into advertising it, but amazingly, it filled up and even had a waitlist
There were a bunch of drops once folks found out what it was, but still, double digits
@lindsey @regehr @csgordon @krismicinski@types.pl @wilbowma When I took Phil Klein's "Optimization Algorithms for Planar Graphs" grad course at Brown, the first lecture started off standing room only and gradually tapered down to about 12. I still really want to ask the undergrads who left 45 minutes in what expectations they had from the course description that were unmet by the lecture. 🧐
