Mac charger left in 34-101

If you were sitting in the front-most section on the left side of the room (when facing the board), it's probably yours! Enter through the left doors - I left the charger on the small shelf against the wall.

Final Exam Topics Clarification

We just wanted to make it clear that, as was the case for the quiz, questions on the final exam may relate to anything covered in lectures, recitations, or problem sets. The final exam topics list is intended to give you a general idea of the topics we studied in this course and may not be a complete list.

Important Updates on the Final Exam Tomorrow

We have three important updates on the final exam:

* materials on MITx (videos, optional exercises, mandatory exercises) will be taken down at 6 pm on the day of the final exam.
* if you are taking the conflict exam, MITx will become available again at about 10pm
* some of the questions on the final exam will be automatically graded -- the score you see at the top is your score for that problem. It will be clear which questions this will apply to. A copy of the instructions you will see for these problems is on the sample quiz on MITx:
