Human Factors; Airspace Structure; Procedure
Landings practice was in process with a full pattern. All traffic was starting to have a longer than necessary downwind. On my final a Cessna 172 approached me on base turning final under my altitude. I noticed them and took immediate corrective action by exiting the pattern to the right. Lack of communication was the largest problem in my opinion.
PA28 pilot reported that while on final a Cessna 172 turned base to final below him.
