I only took one class, so have limited experience. If there were observers, they drifted in, tried not to intrude, and drifted out. Didn't bother me a bit. We (class students) would look at each other's pillows when we got up to streatch, get a glass of water, whatever. The class I was in was informal, with issues / techniques handled as we came across them. Nothing like formal college lectures. Also the rooms weren't set up for a gallery of "observers." I don't mind the freedom to drift in for a brief look, and drift out. Frankly, if I'm paying for a class, I'd be pretty angry if there was a gallery of folks listening in for free. On the otherhand, if I was interested in a lace style, a convention is the time to see it, and then I'd ask the instructor if they minded that I peeked in.
