Quiz 3 is from 9:00AM to 10:30AM on Thursday, May 19, 2005. Like Quizzes 1 and 2, it will be a 50-minute quiz in content length, but you will have 90 minutes to answer the questions. The quiz will cover all the material from lecture 16 (April 4) through recitation 26 (May 12). The quiz will be "open book." That means you can bring along any printed or written materials that you think might be useful. Calculators are allowed, though not necessary; cell phones, laptops, and PDAs are off limits. 6.033 quizzes typically begin with half a dozen or so independent questions that focus on material in the readings followed by one or two longer, multi-part questions that deal with concepts of computer systems covered in the notes and lecture. The quiz will be, at least in part, multiple choice.

Warning: the lectures touch on only a subset of the totality of 6.033 concepts. Anything in the class notes and readings assigned between LEC16 and REC26 may show up on the quiz.

The quiz will be held in the Johnson Ice Rink (W34).

You can find old quiz questions to practice on in the Problems and Solutions in Chapter 14 of the class notes. Be sure to check out both the independent problems and the problem sets that pertain to the current topics. Note that each problem in that section is followed by a code that tells what year it was given and which quiz it appeared on. Although there has been a little rearrangement of material over the years, you should be able to answer most questions relevant to the subjects we have covered.

It may also be helpful to look at old quizzes (2004, 2003, 2003 Solutions).

Keith and Kyle will run a quiz review from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, Tuesday, May 17 in room 34-101.

This date and time was set by the registrar, so you should not have problems with scheduling conflicts. If, nevertheless, you have a conflict that the registrar has not resolved, contact Prof. Balakrishnan () as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
