>I guess, I'm advocating for the Oxbridge/St. John's approach with under 10 class sizes where the proctor actually knows you and if you've done the work. And I know, that is not a cheap way to churn out degrees.

I could understand US tuition if that were the case. These days with overworked adjuncts make it McDonalds at Michelin star prices.

Funnily enough I only had 10-person-classes when I paid $125 for summer courses in a community college between expensive uni semesters.

This matches my experience. I attended the local community college, which works closely and matches curriculum with Ohio State University. The same classes, with the same content, were taught at both schools.

The biggest difference between them is the community college offering class sizes of about 20 people, while the university equivalent was taught in a lecture hall with hundreds of students, and cost significantly more.

Given that the adjuncts often aren't paid all that much better than the McDonalds workers...
