ESG End of Term Evaluation, 1992-93

As with last term, I had no difficulty with my subjects this term.  I scored high on all of the assignments and tests in 6.002, did well in most of my papers in 24.01, and did passably in my ESG subjects 8.022 and 18.063, although I didn't find myself terribly motivated in them.

I found that my 18.063 class was not at all well-run.  Although Mike was friendly and fun to be around, he was rarely prepared for class and gave little homework at all.  He didn't keep track of the pace we were going at and ended up having to crunch the last quarter of the book into the last week of the class.  Although the material was interesting, I'm not sure I learned it very well.

My 8.022 class was more organized.  Peter teaches pretty well, and made sure I knew what I should be doing outside of class.  I did not find myself very interested in the subject matter, but I do think I learned it at least as well as the average regular curriculum student.

My regular curriculum classes were excellent.  I was impressed with the effort that goes into teaching 6.002, and my 24.01 lecturer was quite enthusiastic.

I appreciated the free food and occasional outings that went on at ESG, but I found that my interests were rather different from those of most of the other students.  Most of my friends at MIT are from other groups.  I had little need of advice this term, so it  didn't bother my that I rarely spoke to Peter outside of the context of physics class or my mathematical physics seminar.

I was not impressed overall with ESG.  I found that my regular curriculum classes were much more organized and effective, and I had just as much access to the TAs in those classes as to my tutors in ESG.  I think ESG tends to allows its tutors--and this applies to staff members to the same extent as to undergraduates--to invest very little time in their tutoring, which leads to substandard teaching.

I do have a friend from high school coming into MIT, and I have recommended that she not be an ESG student.  I haven't seen any evidence that ESG is an advantage over the regular curriculum, and in many cases it is worse.
