Announcements
-
Holiday Weekend Schedule: 6.200's schedule will be affected by the holiday weekend in the following ways:
- We will not have our normal open lab hours on Sunday (11 Oct).
- Week 4 problem set will come due one day later than normal (i.e., on Tuesday, 13 Oct, at 10pm).
- Because Tuesday runs on a Monday schedule, we will not have a lecture on Tuesday (13 Oct).
-
Section Assignments: We have made our first round of section assignments based on the submissions to the student survey.
- Please log in to see your lab section.
- Please log in to see your recitation section.
