Why we cap classes at eight

Eight is the number where a tutor can still get round everybody twice in an evening. At twelve they get round once and it becomes a lecture. It is also how many benches there are.

It makes the courses more expensive than they would otherwise be. It is the single thing we are least willing to change.
