Design Project 1 is due in recitation on Thursday, March 20th. Late design projects will be docked one letter grade for every recitation day they are late. So projects turned in after Thursday's recitation can get no better than a B, those turned in after the Tuesday April 1 recitation can get no better than a C, etc.

March 6, 1997
It appears that some people are having trouble finding this information (taken from Assignment 4):
Quiz I will be in Walker during normal class hours, 2-3pm, on March
7. The quiz will be OPEN BOOK. Topics: everything up through the lecture
of March 3 is fair game.
March 7, 1997
More TA Office Hours
As announced in lecture, more TA office hours will be held from 3pm-5pm Thursday (today) in room 34-303. There will not be any prepared quiz review material, but we'll be answering any questions you might have about any of the material.
March 6, 1997
Professor Sussman's recitations sections (#3 and #4) will be meeting in room 36-839 instead of 26-302 starting this Tuesday, March 4th.
March 2, 1997
There has been minor correction in the HTML version of Reading List, the reading list. This change does not affect the hard copy version of the reading list that was distributed with the readings.
February 23, 1997
Important: 6.033 will hit the ground running on Tuesday, Feb. 4 (the first day of classes) by holding recitation section meetings that are not just organizational and administrative--they will have real content as well.
Pick any recitation section you want, not necessarily the one listed on your schedule. Try and pick a section with an instructor you have not had before. We will balance the sections after the first week or so.
January 22, 1997
The textbook Modern Operating Systems is available at Quantum Books and not at the
Coop. Quantum Books is located in Kendall Square, behind the Coop at
the corner of Broadway and Ames Streets. The Mythical Man-Month has not been ordered yet. We'll post
information as soon as Quantum has copies. February 4, 1997 Recitation section assignments are now
available online. As a helpful reminder, under the Edit menu in
Netscape, there is a find option which you can use to search the class
list for your name. If your name does not appear in a recitation list
or we have your name or email address in error, please email one of
the TAs. One more note, if you would like your email address removed
from the sections list, email
6.033-tas@mit.edu. February 5, 1997 Recitation section #5 is held in 36-156 and not 36-153. In
addition, Prof. Sussman's phone number was incorrect. Updated versions
of the administrative
handouts are posted. February 7, 1997 The 6.033 At a Glance handout, had several minor errors including
the incorrect year. However, none of the assignments and due dates
were changed. An updated postscript version can be obtained here, and an updated html
version can be obtained
here.
February 13, 1997 The class list for the 6.033 lab
section is available. February 16, 1997 The 6.033 Writing Practica Class List
is now available online. February 19, 1997 For recitation on Tuesday, February 25, only read pages 1-12 in
Birell's threads paper. If you get interested in threads, the material
in pages 13-22 is also of considerable interest, and if you get really
interested in threads, go ahead and read the whole paper. The assignment
previously asked that pages 1-22 be read.
A revised assignment is
available. For Postscript version, click
here.
February 19, 1997 No more waiting for Ghostview to pop up the Postscript schedule. View

How to hand in design project 2
The process of reviewing papers of other design project teams may
differ by recitation section. If you were instructed otherwise by your
recitation instructor in Tuesday's recitation please disregard the
second part of this message regarding the anonymous review of the
reports.
The other copy, which you will turn in at the same time as the first copy, should have a title page but without the names of the group members. Include a 6-digit code on the cover page instead and put the same code on the cover page of the "signed" report.
This second anonymous copy is going to be given to another team in your section on the same day and that team will prepare a 5-minute presentation on it for next Tuesday's recitation.
Because of the constraints given by this schedule we cannot give extensions and all papers should be turned in on Thursday in recitations. Teams which consist of two people from one section and one from another should turn in the paper in the section to which two members belong.
In preparation for Tuesday's section your design team should prepare a 5-minute presentation on the paper of your classmates you received on Thursday. In addition to the presentation, each team should hand in a single one-page reading report on the paper you reviewed as a group. This one-page report should include the names of all the team members/evaluators as well as the 6-digit "secret" code. The one-page reports should be attached to the anonymous copy of the paper you were evaluating.
