An erratum has been added to Problem set 1, clarifying some inconsistency in the use of the word "trigger".

Grades for PS0 have been e-mailed out.
If you didn't receive a grade, it may be that we haven't graded your problem set yet. It could be because we don't know your Athena username, or because you submitted it late, in which case it will be sent out in a second round of grading.
(If you are listed on Tutorial assignments with an address that isn't @mit.edu, please let us know your Athena username. If you are a cross-registered student, you are supposed to be able to acquire an Athena username.)

Based on discussions with students from previous years, we are introducing several changes in the fall, 2006 version of 6.034, including the following:
Quizzes and evaluations
This year, we will have 4 quizzes instead of 2, so as to both reduce time pressure and test less material per quiz.
The final will be organized into parts corresponding to the quizzes. If you have a bad day on one of the quiz days, you can make up for it on the final, as we propose to give you the higher of the two grades.
All quizzes and the final are open book, open notes, open problem sets and solutions, open everything, except for computers.
Tutorials and recitations
As in previous years, we will have tutorials on Mondays and Tuesdays and recitations on Thursdays and Fridays. In addition, this year we are introducing the concept of a megarecitation, to be held 1112 on Fridays. Roughly, the purpose of each element is as follows:
Element | Purpose |
Lectures: | To introduce most of the material and provide the big picture |
Tutorials: | To provide help with the homework and assess understanding |
Mega recitation: | To demonstrate how to work problems of the kind that tend to show up on the quizzes |
Regular recitations | To introduce some of the material, answer questions, provide additional
perspective, and be a venue small enough for discussion |
Times and places of recitations and tutorials
We will ask you to fill out a schedule form in the first lecture so that we can make assignments. Ignore the times listed by the registrar.
There will be no tutorials, regular recitations, or megarecitation during the first week of class, the week of September 4.
