DD2 started Uni last month (we’re in Australia where the academic year follows the calendar year) and she’s really struggling with the larger class sizes.
Some of her lectures have over 200 students and her tutorials are all 25-30 students. The biggest class she had in the last 2 years of school had 12 students.
She struggling with the larger groups and I’m not sure how to advise her or how to build her confidence with speaking up. She has a stress stutter and it’s starting to reappear with speaking up in front of so many strangers. She’s also completely blind in one eye and is getting very jumpy and nervous again with the number of strangers suddenly appearing in front of her when they’ve come up on her blind side.
She’s enjoying her course but finding it quite difficult to manage socially. She’s already spoken to student support and has arranged to speak to a counsellor but I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

Larger class sizes seem very intimidating
