I do agree with what the majority of people seem to be saying. We do seem to learn more in this context, as we have much more time to go over the material. However, the activities we do in class do not really relate to the lecture. (we also only started class a few weeks ago so maybe as the semester goes on, they will become more involved) I don't want to disclose what the class is due to the fact that it's a pretty unique and small class and makes me very easy to identify, but it is a major required class only taught by one teacher.
Hope this answers everyones questions
