6.034 never calculates class averages, because it is not graded on a curve. However, you can use this table to assess how you did on quiz 1.
+
We are holding final review sessions this Thursday and Friday, 11am-3pm in 34-301. There will be one hour for each of the eight core topics, following [[Office_Hours#Final_Review_Sessions | this schedule]].
 +
 
 +
=== 7 December 2014 ===

We have released the promised grade calculator.  See reference stuff above.

Tutorial hours will be held on Tuesday this week.  Monday was a student holiday so Monday students can go to ANY Tuesday tutorial they can make.  The tutorials will be a quiz review for Wednesday's quiz.  Bring questions about material you're unsure about.

The exam will cover the material learned so far in the course, which can be found at [[Calendar]].  Exam questions are quite like what you've seen in mega-recitation and tutorials.  Past exams can be accessed at:

The terminology has changed over the past several years, and no previous 6.034 class has been in this format with four quizzes, so the mega-recitation still provides the best example problems for quizzes.

Some students have asked where to find solutions to the first quiz. Solutions to this year's exams are made available in the quiz archive, along with the previous year's exams. In particular, here are the solutions to the first quiz: [http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.034f/Examinations/2014s1.pdf] .

in the fall, 2006 version of 6.034, including the following:
 
-
==== Quizzes and evaluations ====
+
'''If you wish to take the subject, but have not yet signed up,''' please go through the add ritual as soon as practicable, so we can ask the department for more help.
-
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
+
===June 2014===
-
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,  
+
<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10">
-
open everything, except for computers.
+
<tr><td>
 +
In the fall semester of 2014, 6.034 will meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 to 11. 
 +
Most, but not all of Professor Winston's lectures will be on Monday and Wednesday. 
 +
On many, but not all Fridays, you will learn about what is happening in the field right now from someone who is doing work right now in an area related to the Monday and Wednesday lectures.
-
==== Tutorials and recitations ====
+
Examinations will cover material from the traditional lectures as well as the right-now lectures.  It will be extremely difficult to field questions on the right-now material if you do not attend the right-now lectures because the material is not yet in textbooks or, in many cases, published papers.
-
As in previous years, we will have tutorials on Mondays and Tuesdays and recitations on
+
Tutorials will meet weekly on Monday and Tuesday.  On the first day of class, you will fill out a form that will enable us to assign you to a tutorial.
-
Thursdays and Fridays.  In addition, this year we are introducing the concept of a

-
megarecitation, to be held 11&#150;12 on Fridays. Roughly, the purpose of each element is
+
-
as follows:
+
-
<table cellpadding=5 border=1><tr><td>
+
There are no recitations.

<b>Element</b> </td><td><b>Purpose</b>
+

-
</td></tr><tr><td>Tutorials: </td><td>To provide help with the homework and assess understanding

-
</td></tr><tr><td>Mega recitation: </td><td>To demonstrate how to work problems of the kind that tend to show up on the quizzes

-
</td></tr><tr><td>Regular recitations </td><td>To introduce some of the material, answer questions, provide additional

perspective, and be a venue small enough for discussion

-
</td></tr></table>

==== Times and places of recitations and tutorials ====
+
6.034 is no longer offered in the spring term.
-
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.

In the fall semester of 2014, 6.034 will meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 to 11. Most, but not all of Professor Winston's lectures will be on Monday and Wednesday. On many, but not all Fridays, you will learn about what is happening in the field right now from someone who is doing work right now in an area related to the Monday and Wednesday lectures.

Examinations will cover material from the traditional lectures as well as the right-now lectures. It will be extremely difficult to field questions on the right-now material if you do not attend the right-now lectures because the material is not yet in textbooks or, in many cases, published papers.

Tutorials will meet weekly on Monday and Tuesday. On the first day of class, you will fill out a form that will enable us to assign you to a tutorial.

There are no recitations.

6.034 is no longer offered in the spring term.
