As a first–year student at ESG, you will experience:
Class sizes that range from 6 to 12 students
Dedicated and expert teachers from MIT's chemistry, physics, mathematics, and humanities departments who focus on how best to teach the GIR subject matter
Classes that are discussion–based whenever possible and, to the extent the material allows, interactive and hands–on
Instruction that adapts the learning pace and approach to the material, based on how you and your peers are grasping the subject matter
A classroom environment that encourages you to ask questions, interact with your instructor and classmates, and develop skills that prepare you for future MIT classes
Learning from your classmates as you discuss and solve problems together, both in and out of the classroom
The same material as in mainstream MIT classes, but in a smaller setting and with more attention to your individual learning style
Final projects that replace final exams in the GIRs, offering you the chance to apply your knowledge directly to projects of your own interest and design
