2. Improved interaction and participation: Smaller class sizes encourage students to participate more actively in class discussions and activities.

3. Enhanced learning experience: The close-knit environment of a small class can create a more intimate and supportive learning environment, which can help students feel more comfortable asking questions and sharing their ideas.

4. More opportunities for hands-on learning: Smaller class sizes may provide more opportunities for students to engage in hands-on learning experiences, such as group projects and problem-solving activities.

5. Better student-teacher relationships: Smaller class sizes can foster closer relationships between students and instructors, which can lead to a more enjoyable and productive learning experience.
