Sun May 18: Quiz 2 tomorrow

Quiz 2 will be tomorrow, Monday, 1:30-3:30pm, in assigned rooms.

You can also visit Quiz 2 itself now to preview the quiz instructions.

You must go to your assigned room. Bring your laptop with a fully-charged battery.

As announced previously, the quiz is closed-book, but you may bring a single 8.5×11″ double-sided page of notes. This page must be handwritten, by you, directly on the paper (not created with a computer or tablet, not printed out or photocopied). Blank scratch paper is also allowed. You may not access any other materials, sites, tools, etc. during the quiz.

Fri May 9: Problem Set 4 reflection and grades

First, please fill out the required Problem Set 4 reflection, which asks a few questions about how you worked on ps4. It should take only a minute to fill out.

After you have filled out the reflection, your overall ps4 grade and grade report will become visible on Omnivore, with new information at the end of the page about your beta autograde and beta manual grade.

If you have questions, please see the FAQ about grading questions.

Fri May 9: Project reflection and last class

The group project is due this evening at 10pm. Also due at 10pm is your individual reflection about the project, so please don’t forget to write and submit that reflection. It’s OK to submit the reflection a bit late if you’re wrapping up project work close to the deadline.

If your group needs last-minute help or TA advice, there are special lab hours today, 3-6pm, in 45-102 (note that this is not the usual lab room).

Tuesday will be the last 6.102 class of the semester. There is no reading or nanoquiz or classwork grade for Tuesday’s class. Instead, we will have a brief wrap-up and summary of the course.

Mon May 5: Quiz 2 during final exam period

Quiz 2 will be on Monday, May 19, 1:30pm-3:30pm. This is during the scheduled final exam period for 6.102, but the quiz is 2 hours long, so we will not use the entire scheduled final exam slot.

To get your quiz location, visit the quizzes page in Omnivore. You will only be able to check-in for the quiz in your assigned room.

Quiz 2 will have a similar format to Quiz 1 and will be in the same online system as Quiz 1 and the nanoquizzes. You will need your laptop, and your seat may not be near a power outlet, so make sure you can take the quiz on battery power.

The quiz will cover readings 1-19. Any concepts from any of those readings may appear on the quiz, but you can expect a greater focus on readings 11-19, since those were not covered by Quiz 1.

Quizzes from previous semesters can be found in the quiz archive, although their content and length may differ from this semester’s quiz.

The quiz is closed-book, closed-notes, and you may not use anything on your laptop other than the quiz site, but you may bring a single 8.5×11″ double-sided page of notes. This page must be handwritten directly on the paper (not created with a computer or tablet, not printed out or photocopied), must be readable without a magnifying glass, and must be created by you. Since the process of creating a crib sheet conveys most of its learning benefit, you may not share these notes or use someone else’s.
