What is the best way to model a class (an instance of a class - with a
meeting time and students, etc.) - as a PartyGroup or WorkEffort or
something else?

I would do something else.

A class is a room with attributes, subject, and time with potentially
multiple groups of students and multiple teachers.

Course, then again, it depends on how it is organized.

that would be similar to a hotel room with occupants if you want to look
at how hans did it.

the model starts with a campus with building, with rooms.
types are for the building and rooms
For this I used facilities.
party groups are student, Instructors made up of employees, and
personnel also make of employees.
From a financial point of view Company is the school with sub companies
being the departments.
you can also assign partygroups to the financial.
Curriculum for a school is a productstore
Catalogs are the Quarters
Categories are the departments
Product are the classes (more in depth if you want)
so there is a relationship between facilities and products(classes)
The facilities has a time component (workEffort) and so Does the
Classes. the facilities based on time has an allotment of totals
students per time period.
Oh did i mention the manufacturing is used to build the course.
So once a student has a order (classes) the process of assigning student
 time periods to be at facilities begins.

any way that is a rough ideas of the system I am modeling using ofbiz.
