Professor Winston will teach 6.034 in the fall of 2008. In the fall of 2008, the official language of 6.034 will be Python for a variety of reasons having little to do with the strengths and weaknesses of the language.    Relative to past years, homework will ramp up somewhat more gently to give Scheme speakers an opportunity to adapt.  We expect a weekend with any of the many Python books would be adequate preparation.  See, for example, the [http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/285856/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_b_1_5_last Amazon list].

Grading amendment/clarification. We have been inconsistent in our discussion of how we will run the grades, so we will use a more generous method than that described in lecture.  We will fit tight sigmoids to the breakpoints, but we will fit them such that if you are, for example, right on the upper breakpoint, you get nearly a five.  If you  are a few points below, you get nearly a four.  Similarly, on the next breakpoint, you get nearly a 4, and if a few points below, you get nearly a 3.

Some notes about the structure of 6.034:

Next lecture is Monday, 8 September (no class on Friday, 5 September).  Tutorials begin on Monday.  If you have not filled out a tutorial availability form, fetch one from the plastic bin outside Professor Winston's office (32-251), fill it out, and put it back in marked place.
-
==== Quizzes and evaluations ====
+
Rules of engagement are now explained in [[Frequently Asked Questions | Frequently asked questions]].
-
There will be 4 in-class quizzes.
+
-
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,

'''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.

open everything, except for computers.

Next lecture is Monday, 8 September (no class on Friday, 5 September). Tutorials begin on Monday. If you have not filled out a tutorial availability form, fetch one from the plastic bin outside Professor Winston's office (32-251), fill it out, and put it back in marked place.

Rules of engagement are now explained in Frequently asked questions.


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.

June 2014

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.

More details will emerge during the first lecture on Wednesday, 3 September 2014.
