Alan,

I have also taught at multiple levels and with all ranges of student enrollments. I believe most instructors have found the 15-20 or 15-25 optimal for most courses. I have experienced what you describe with the lower enrollments; however, in some specialty courses at the higher levels, the smaller number including 12 was more effective. There are so many variables. The main point is that there is no magic number and there are many factors that play in to the "ideal" or optimal ratio.
