When I was a TA, I had students who didn't want or need the extra attention and instruction from a breakout session. They didn't come to class. I think it's brilliant to allow students to decide how much instruction they need. Especially if this class is something they wanted to take, but couldn't fit the full 4 credits into their schedule. The freedom to up-or-down size a class means more students will be able to dabble in other areas--which is what college is supposed to be all about. I think it’s a great idea.
