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, so the mega-recitation still provides the best example problems from quizes.

Reminder: There will be an in-lecture quiz on Wednesday,September 27.  As always in 6.034, the quiz will be open book and open notes; bring anything you want within reason.  Laptops are not considered within reason.

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.

Recitations (previously known as "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 recitation.

6.034 is no longer offered in the spring term.

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