Professor
Cima’s presentation at the Core Blitz can be found at
3.091 Core Blitz
Lectures will be held in Room 10-250 at 11
am on a MWF format. Please see the
syllabus for the exact dates (Syllabus
link). Lectures will be broadcast to an overflow
lecture hall (Room 26-100) and can be found on MIT Cable. 3.091 lectures are large. We have learned over the years that we have
to adhere to a strict code of conduct in the lecture room so that everyone can
benefit from the lecture. No eating or
drinking will be permitted in 10-250 during lecture. Talking is also not permitted unless you are
responding to a question from the lecturer.
If you have a question, raise your hand and Prof. Cima will try and get
to it. TAs have
been asked to make him aware of any raised hands. Cell phones must be set to silent mode during
the lecture. If you need to eat, drink,
talk, or have your cell phone on, you are welcome to use 2-147 or the MIT cable
feed.
Sections meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays
each week. See separate listing for times, instructors, and locations (Recitations).
Students have been assigned to recitation
sections by the Registrar. If a student feels that extenuating circumstances
make it necessary to change to another recitation section, he/she must meet
with the subject administrator Kerri Mills in Room 10-110. Sections will be limited to 20 students. Know
the recitation number that you are assigned to and the name of your recitation
instructor.
Each registered student will receive an
e-mail two days before each lecture.
This e-mail will contain a link to a single concept question (CQ). The CQ can be answered by reference to the
reading assignment for the corresponding lecture. The CQ will require each student to also fill
out his/her name, e-mail address, recitation number, and provide an answer by
2:00am on the day of the lecture. The
point of the CQs is to help the staff understand how well the class understands
the reading assignment and to help you keep pace throughout the semester. Thus, collaboration with your classmates when
answering a CQ is not authorized.
We want to measure your individual understanding of the material.
Homework is assigned weekly and is
distributed along with model solutions in recitation. One week later students
will take a 10-minute quiz in recitation based on the subject matter of the
homework.
Reading will be assigned from three
sources:

Applications (Averill), by Bruce Averill and Patricia Eldredge, published by FlatWorld Knowledge Available free on line Averill

MIT has policies and procedures on academic
honesty and they will be strictly enforced in 3.091. Please make sure you read and understand
these policies (Academic Honesty). This page states, “If you find yourself tempted to cheat, stop;
take a deep breath, and think of the big picture. Cheating, plagiarism,
unauthorized collaboration, and other forms of academic dishonesty are
considered serious offenses for which disciplinary penalties can be imposed.”
