This is one of those classes that benefits from having a large following. I took it when it wasn't so large (100s not 1000s). The material is easy to follow (who doesn't like world trivia?) and the flow of guest speakers keeps it interesting. On the other hand, I can't see a discrete math course, for example, working the same way. Sometimes you need the intimate interaction that only a 10 student class can provide. I also took a 5 person lecture once, talk about nowhere to hide...
