Welcome to the 2018 Edition of 6.034
Special 2018 opportunity for graduate credit
The 2018 edition of 6.034 will offer an optional, experimental, graduate-credit version, for graduate students only, by Professor Randall Davis. Students involved will do all 6.034 classes, homework, and quizzes plus an extra class with Professor Davis and extra work.
If you are interested, register for 6.S899, instead of 6.034, stay tuned for further intructions.
When registering, you may need to explicitly register for 12 units; the registration software may try to default to 1 unit.

6.034 Lab 0 Released
Many students interested in taking 6.034 for credit wonder if their Python skills are adequate for the 6.034 laboratory assignments, especially those who have not taken 6.0001 or equivalent. The answer is to be found in Lab 0, which in past years we have released at the beginning of the semester.
You can look over Lab 0 now, before the semester begins, so that you can determine if you should review Python for a day or two before the semester begins. You can find Lab 0 here.
If you have any questions, email the 6.034 staff at 6.034-2017-staff@.

About 6.034, Fall 2018 Edition
In the fall semester of 2018, 6.034 will meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 to 11 in 10-250. 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.
We are pleased to note that Bloomberg has listed 6.034 as among "Five of the Best Computer Science Classes in the U.S." What they meant to say is that 6.034 has had outstanding TAs.
