Student review [#20712]
for Arts and Humanities
at Minerva Schools at KGI
San Francisco, California, United States
Classes are taught entirely online, in a form of small seminars (up to 20 people per class) based on discussion. Hence, each class is highly interactive, you need to pay attention and contribute answers. Part of the class is spent in breakouts, which facilitate the exchange of opinions and knowledge. The professors are skilled in managing the classroom environment. I always felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.
You need to do pre-class work before the start of the seminar, otherwise, you will be marked absent. However, each reading and/or video material provided is concise and related to real-life problems. Thus, you can immediately apply the theory in practice, which makes it more interesting and useful.
However, the main drawback of the studies is the heavy workload. You need to both prepare for classes and complete assignments at the same time. The assignments are four for each course and require substantial effort and time.
