== Effective strategies in large classes ==
Transformational Active Learning Experience (TALE) could be challenging in large classes where students may exceed 200, typically found in universities.

Examples of some challenges in large classes:

* Student's grades and academic performance might be decreased.
* The student's ability to think critically might be lower.
* The professor's feedback and instructions might be minimized.
* The students will become less active in the learning process.<ref name=":03">{{Cite book |last=Wetzel |first=Eric |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.1201/9781003106029/teaching-built-environment-eric-wetzel-thomas-leathem-ben-farrow |title=Teaching in the built environment : creating transformational active learning experiences |year=2022 |pages=6–65|doi=10.1201/9781003106029 |isbn=978-1-003-10602-9 }}</ref>

Despite the challenges, obvious benefits can be seen; in a large class, many ideas could be generated with multiple opinions. The diverse population could expand and create strong connections and relationships between classmates.<ref name=":03"/>

1- Using software for students' participation without revealing their identities could be a solution to students' discomfort with representing their thoughts in front of a large population.

2-What is called the "one minute paper"  could be a useful strategy for students to respond. When the teacher asks a question related to a topic that has been taught, students will write their answers individually within 60 seconds.

3- "Think-pair-share" is a method that has been used to walk students through three ways of learning. First, every student will come up with an answer regarding a question presented by the instructor. Then, Each student will share the answer with another peer for analysis and deeper thinking. Lastly, the entire class will discuss their responses together.<ref name=":03"/>
