Prereq: should have no significant programming experience
Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F Can be repeated for credit
This course will serve as an aggressively gentle introduction to programming for those students who lack background in the field. Specifically targeted at students with little or no programming experience, the course seeks to reach students who intend to take 6.001 in the Spring Term and feel they would struggle because they lack the necessary background. The main focus of the subject will be acquiring programming experience: instruction in programming fundamentals coupled with lots of practice problems. Lots of programming required, but lots of support provided.

Groups of two or three design, build, and program robots (made of LEGO and various sensors) for the annual final contest at the end of IAP. This student-taught class is open only to MIT students; freshmen are strongly encouraged to participate. No experience is necessary; you'll learn how to play with LEGO, basic programming and soldering. A lottery is held in mid-October because this class is very popular. It's time (and fun) intensive, running from the start of IAP, at ludicrous speed to the exciting public final competition at the end. Participants can't have other major time commitments. Please see our website. (Class has 6 EDPs.)

Training in the ToBI system (for 'To'nes and 'B'reak 'I'ndices) to transcribe the prosodic structure of spoken utterances in American English. 12 sessions will combine new ToBI tutorial presentation with extensive practice and discussion; opportunities to practice labelling outside of class. Participants are encouraged to submit sample utterances of particular interest to them, for general discussion. Class is appropriate for undergrad or grad students with background in linguistics (phonology or phonetics), cognitive psychology (psycholinguistics), speech acoustics or music, who wish to learn about the prosody of speech, i.e. the intonation, rhythm, grouping and prominence patterns of spoken utterances, prosodic differences that signal meaning & phonetic implementation.
