Courses

Most classes in the Department of Mathematics at Western Michigan University are taught under the traditional classroom system where students meet the same instructor in the same room on each assigned day. On a typical day the instructor might spend some time lecturing on new material and the remaining time answering questions on homework and lectures.

Classes for majors and minors are generally taught by faculty members, even at the freshman level. Enrollment in freshman or sophomore classes typically ranges from 30 to 50 students. Junior and senior classes are limited to 20 to 30 students.
