| Summary: | There are certain challenges faced by the students and faculty members in large class format. Large classes are noisier and that pushing, crowding and hitting occur more often in larger classes than smaller. Class size has many effects on students' engagement, behaviour and student retention. The purpose of this paper is to identify effective teaching learning strategies for large class room from student's perspective. Focused group interview was conducted to explore the feelings of students in depth. Faculties views were understood through survey by asking the same questions. Nine students and six faculty members teaching different programs were randomly selected. Themes emerged from the data collected. In conclusion, small group activity videos, and discussion should be used for effective teaching/ learning in large class format, so that the students may actively involve and participate in the class which will enhance their learning, critical thinking and problem solving abilities.
