Holiday Weekend: The upcoming holiday weekend will affect 6.200's schedule in a couple of different ways:
-
Problem set 6 will come due on Tuesday evening at 10pm, instead of the normal time on Monday.
-
We will not be holding open lab hours on the Sunday in the middle of the long weekend (13 Oct).
-
We will have our normal open lab hours on Monday evening (14 Oct) from 7-10pm.
-
We will also have additional open lab hours on Tuesday evening (15 Oct) from 7-10pm, for this week only because of the holiday.
-
Adam's office hours will be held from 8-10am on Tuesday morning (15 Oct) instead of the normal Monday time.
