Class registration for the second semester took place during from September 1 to 6 at HUFS. The classroom situation for liberal arts courses is still interior.
The school mostly fills the classes with maximum students, which is 200 for liberal arts courses The miniunm number of students per class in 90. It is the reality of liberal arts courses in HUFS.

Crowded in classroom
There are so many students in a classroom, the students taking liberal arts courses are suffering from the lack of space. Sometimes it tudents go to multi -media classroom enters other classrooms to find chairs.

Now liberal arts courses currently has between 90 to 200 students in a classroom. concerned people explained that office of General Educational Committee are deciding on the number of people in one class for liberal arts courses.

Because of too many students per class, students often do not get what they want from the classes at present, Specific classes, such as social science and philosophy that requires intensive discussion and presentation, face many difficulties due to the class size.

It damages not only the students, but also the professors, as the lectures have to continue with one-way communication.
A lecturer said ˇ°I was forced to grade more than one hundred papers when I was in charged of about hundred students. It is impossible to review each paper considerably. Therefore the exam tend to be simplified, only judging simple estimating and memorizing abilities.ˇ±

Moreover, it needs tremendous time to call the roll, and the classes could not even imagine to use visual materials or data.
Practical English courses
Practical English courses need to shorter students than any other liberal arts courses.

So practical English classes have some difficulties. Mostly practical English classes holds 30 to 40 students in one class. The 30 to 40 students are somewhat too many to learn valuable language lessons and vocabulary.
The class that has 40 students is maybe proper only for other lectures rather than Practical English.

Shortage of multi-media classroom
The authorities of HUFS started construction to renovate the school facilities. in summer vacation. But, It is not enough to use for the flooding liberal arts courses.
Multi-media classrooms are also short in storage. So even when it is needed a lot of liberal arts courses do not have the chance to use them.

For students to use the visual materials and documents, the equipment has to be reserved in advance, because the number of students are above its maximum number. Lack of these equipments make students and also the lecturer very uncomfortable.

Furthermore, it is reality that multi-media class room no space cannot be used alone per for only one class. So taking turns using the room makes the class unefficient for students.
The authorities of HUFS need to make more new multi-media classroom in campus. Now HUFS feels an internal disorder. So it did not yet worry about liberal arts courses. Next year after the election of a foundation director, HUFS consolidate various on cultural courses.

Concerned people explained, ˇ°Next year there is expected to be a change in the liberal arts courses. When the new foundation comes in to HUFS. We are now making every efforts to develope the liberal arts courses .ˇ±

Need to improve system
Different lectures need different sizes of students, but it is known that 30 to 40 in one class is idealistic. The authorities of HUFS need to divide crowded classes into smaller ones.
Following the efforts to separate classes, the authorities have to consider an alternative that limits the participants per classroom and promote the extension of the scale of the faculty. Likewise, The HUFS have to extend the number of instructors. The HUFS need to be divide the number of students in liberal arts courses for curriculum, not a size of class.

The authorities of HUFS supports should work together.
It is inevitable to realize that this problem is not only for the authorities of HUFS, but also for lecturers and students altogether.

Lecturer should improve class quality with students. The school should be more concerned about the number of students in the liberal arts courses.
