[[Problem set 4]] has been released. It is due on Wednesday, November 7.

[[Problem set 3]] has finally been graded for everyone who submitted it on time. Now, onto the late submissions. In the interest of time, we'll look for which late submissions were actually different and grade only those, so most people will not see a "ps3-late" grade as usual.

There is no class on Monday, September 24. All students with Monday tutorials are encouraged to find a Tuesday tutorial they can attend for quiz review.

In the fall semester of 2015, 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.

==== Problem set 1 grades ====

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.

[[Problem set 1]] has been graded. To see your grades, you can look in <tt>/mit/6.034/grader/ps1/</tt>(your username) on Athena, or (in most cases) you can run /mit/6.034/bin/show-grades. We're still trying to figure out why this doesn't work for some people.

June 2015

In the fall semester of 2015, 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.
