Preparation for Quiz 2
Quiz 2 is at 2:00 on Friday, April 18, 2007. The quiz will cover
material from lecture 9 through recitation 17. 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
from LEC9 through REC17 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.
