Preparation for Quiz 1 Quiz 1 is at 2pm on Friday March 7, and will last 50 minutes. The quiz will cover all the material up to and including the March 4 Tuesday recitation (#8). 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 modest subset of the totality of 6.033 concepts. Anything in the class notes assigned prior to LEC9 may show up on the quiz. The quiz will be held in the Walker Memorial Gym (50-340). 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. Old quizzes:
Quiz Review: There will be a quiz review from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, Wednesday March 7 in room 32-123. During this time the TAs will go over an outline of the covered subjects and explain a few questions from the Problems and Solutions section of the class notes. A subset of the staff (mostly TAs) will be holding marathon office hours prior to the quiz. |
