My class size is between 200 and 300 students. The class is structured so that 5 or 6 law students are employed (15 hours per week) to assist with grading, holding office hours, and leading once a week discussion section classes (size capped at 25). Large lecture class meets 2 hours per week. The discussion sections are highly structured focusing on exercises and problems prepared by me. There are four graded papers/assignments, three exams including multiple choice and essay questions, and several quizzes. 
 
I'm committed to keeping students active and writing, and this requires substantial resources to assist with grading.

Hello
 
I'm currently participating in a year-long faculty seminar on large class instruction.  Do any of you use TA's in your Legal Environment classes?  If so, would you mind sharing a bit about how you've structured your course?
 
Thanks!
 
Susan
