Have a great summer!

Thu May 14: Quiz 2 tomorrow

Quiz 2 will be tomorrow morning, MIT time. Here is the link to the quiz, which you can visit and sign into beforehand if you want. The quiz questions will become available at the starting time you selected. If you didn’t submit the form to select a time, then your starting time is 11:05 am MIT time.

As announced previously, the quiz is closed-book, closed-notes, but you may use a single 8.5×11″ double-sided page of notes. You should not communicate with others during the quiz.

While the quiz is happening, you will be able to ask clarification questions using an online help queue leading to a text chat with a 6.031 staff member. Good luck!

Quiz 2 will be next Friday (details previously announced). The quiz is 50 minutes long, and you can choose one of three time slots in which to take it.

Please choose a time to take Quiz 2 next Friday.

If you submit the form more than once, your last submission will be used. The deadline for choosing a time slot is Wed May 13, 10pm MIT time.

Tue May 5: Problem Set 4 alpha reports

Alpha grade reports and code reviews for ps4 are now available.

As before, that page includes links to your alpha autograde report on Didit and your code reviews on Caesar (which you can also find by going to Didit or Caesar directly).

In autograding this iteration, many test cases were zero points because the focus was on situations without concurrency. Those test cases will be worth more than zero points on the beta.

In manual grading, staff looked at your Board abstraction function and rep exposure safety argument. As you revise, try to both address their comments directly and generalize the feedback to improve your other ADTs.

The ps4 beta deadline is Friday at 10pm MIT time. Make sure you address all your code review comments from humans or marked #important by Checkstyle. If you need a slack day, remember to request it on Caesar.

Please ask questions on Piazza and visit lab or office hours.
