Methods of maintaining student interest in large classes Various teaching methods have been studied and tested to measure their suitability with scenarios of large classes in institutions of higher learning. A combination of several methods would be the best way to achieve fair delivery and still completion of the syllabus on time. They would be technologically and socially oriented. For large classes in institutions of higher learning, large screens on which presentations and notes would be displayed allowing the students to discuss the topics involved intermittently. The jigsaw method of study is also good for ensuring that all students in large classes feel sufficiently accommodated and involved in the learning process. It involves giving students assignments where they read sections of study material chapters independently away from school, then come make presentations to fellow students during the next lesson. Group work is also a good strategy. Grouping students and assigning each group a team project that is to be completed outside class.
