Exam 1 Logistics
The first exam in 6.1800 will be on April 2, 7:30pm-9:30pm, in either 32-123 or 34-101. If your last name starts with letters A-L, go to 32-123; M-Z, go to 34-101. (The desks in these rooms are close together, but both rooms will be at less than 50% capacity.)
The exam will cover all material from Lectures 1-14, Recitations 1-7, and Labs 1-2. The exam will be closed book, but you can bring one 8.5x11" sheet of paper with whatever you want on it (you can write on both sides). Calculators are also allowed, though typically not necessary.
You may not collaborate with anyone, in any way, during the exam. That includes students in the class, students formerly in the class, people who have never heard of 6.1800, etc. Collaboration will result in an automatic 0% on the exam, and possible further action.
Make-up Exams
If you cannot make the exam because of a class conflict or a religious observance, we offer two make-ups: 9:00am-11:00am on Friday 4/3, and 3:00pm-5:00pm on Friday 4/3. The location of the make-up exams is still TBD; we will update this page once room reservations go through. Please fill out this form by 11:59pm March 20 to register for one of the make-up exams
If you have a class conflict or a religious observance and cannot make either of the scheduled make-ups, or need to miss the exam due to illness, please email 6.1800-personal@mit.edu so that we can work out a plan.
Exam Accommodations
If you have exam accommodations from Disability and Access Services, please make sure we have your accommodations letter by 11:59pm March 20. Katrina or Taylor will be in touch with you about the timing and location of your exam after that.
Practice Exams
Exam 1 will cover all of the material from Lectures 1-14, Recitations 1-7, and Labs 1-2. We've included three previous exams below to help you study. These exams are meant to give you a sense of the length and scope of the exam; note that there is some content on these exams that we did not cover this semester. We strongly suggest working through them in an environment that is authentic as possible (i.e., with a 2-hour time limit, in a quiet space). Just reading the exams and their solutions isn't usually as helpful.
Remember that we also post slides and an outline for every lecture, as well as recitation notes after each recitation.
