Video Recordings of Lecture: We have been having issues with the video recording system in 3-270, so video recordings from weeks 2 and 3 are not available, and we cannot guarantee that video recordings of the lectures will be available in the future. We are following up with the folks who manage the video recording system, but we haven't yet figured out a solution.
-
Final Exam: MIT recently released the final exam schedule. 6.200's exam has been scheduled for Wednesday morning (21 May) from 9am-noon on the Johnson Ice Rink.
-
Section Assignments: We've made our first round of section assignments.
