Exam 2 Logistics
The second exam in 6.1800 will be on May 19, 9:00am-11:00am, in 26-100. The registrar has 6.1800 scheduled for a three-hour slot, but the exam is only two hours, just like the first exam.
The exam will cover all material covered since spring break: Lectures 15-26, Recitations 9-12 (remember there was no Recitation 8), and Labs 3-4; this includes the Weekly Readings from Weeks 8-13 as well. 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
Conflict exams are scheduled by the registrar. If you have a final exam that conflicts with the 6.1800 exam, you should've already received an email from the registrar about your conflict exam time.
If you cannot make the exam because of illness or a personal emergency, email 6.1800-personal@mit.edu right away, as well as S3 (in case you end up needing to OX the class).
Exam Accommodations
If you have exam accommodations from Disability and Access Services, you will receive an email from Taylor Braun well in advance of the exam regarding scheduling.
Practice Exams
Exam 2 will cover Lectures 15-26, Recitations 9-12 (remember there was no Recitation 8), and Labs 3-4; this includes the Weekly Readings from Weeks 8-13 as well. 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, with your 8.5x11" paper of notes). 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.
