Most formal instruction takes place in a classroom setting.
All classrooms are on the First Floor of the building, making it easy to get from one class to the next. While many classes are taught through lectures, there is ample opportunity for the exchange of ideas. Washburn's various classrooms accommodate classes ranging in size from small seminars with 5-10 students to foundation courses which may have 25 to 75 students. One feature setting Washburn apart from many other law schools is a small class size allowing for personalized instruction. All classrooms have been upgraded in recent years to provide access to video, computer, and other electronic instruction techniques.
