Background Upon Entering 6.0001

Hi everyone,

We hope that your semester is wrapping up nicely and that you enjoyed taking 6.0001 this semester. In order to help us improve the course for beginner coders, we would like to ask you to fill out this very quick survey so that we can better understand your background upon entering the course:

TAs and instructors remember what it is like to just start out learning to code, and the difficulties that go along with it. Whether you learned to code in 6.0001 or you are an experienced programmer, by taking 2 minutes to fill out this survey, you will be doing your part to enable us to better assist those students in the future, thank you!

Pset 4 and 5 checkoff deadline extended to Monday Oct 21 at 9pm

Hope this helps!

Pset4 checkoff extended to Friday

We have decided to extend pset4's checkoff to Friday, so you all can focus on the final Wednesday. Now, both pset4 and pset5 checkoffs are due this Friday.

Office hours tend to get very busy the day of deadlines. Please don't wait until the last minute to go get your checkoffs!

Good luck studying for the exam!
