At ESG, we believe that:
- Education is a dynamic process between learner and teacher.
- Learning happens in and out of the classroom.
- Providing context for academic material allows for deeper understanding.
- Students learn a subject more profoundly when they teach it to others.
- Everyone learns best in an environment that is open and supportive.
In support of these beliefs, ESG is a learning community where:
- You will work and learn collaboratively with other students, TAs, and staff in a fun and caring environment.
- You will take at least two GIRs in the fall semester and one in the spring of your first year. Some other subjects (18.03 and 18.06) can also be used to fulfill this requirement.
- Your average class size will range from 6 to 12 students, in contrast to a lecture hall with hundreds of students.
- You will take charge of your own education by asking questions and exploring your academic passions.
- You will apply your knowledge in final projects that interest you instead of taking final exams in each class.
- You will be on a first–name basis with everyone at ESG, including your classmates and your instructors.
