What does the underlined word refer to?
The way teaching is organized is also different from school. At university, lecturers teach classes that may last tow or three hours and can include 300-400 students. There are usually other smaller classes where students can discuss subjects they find difficult, and sometimes lecturers spend time with individual students, talking about work they have done.
a- lecturers b- students
This question was in a formal examination and I think it is confusing.
In my view point it refers to ( b- students ) whereas some other teachers and students chose ( a- lecturers )
Thanks in advance.

In strict terms of grammar. it refers to 'students'. But in terms of intended meaning, it seems slightly ambiguous to me.
