Missing Video of First-Half of Lecture

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed that we only have the second half of today's lecture up for you. Prof Guttag lost power during the first half and it now seems that Zoom was not able to save it properly. Prof Guttag is currently without power (unclear for how long) but will try to re-record the first half when it comes back up.

In the meantime, reading the slides and the relevant textbook chapters will be enough. You may additionally want to view these videos on OCW from a previous semester on the same topics:

* Lecture 10 (end of this is the missing first half)
* Lecture 11 (most of this lecture is the missing first half)
* Lecture 12 (this is the second half, which is available on our site)

Hope this helps!

6.0002 Half - Microquiz 4 Information

Dear students, here are details regarding Microquiz 4 on Wednesday. Notable change from last quiz is that this quiz will be 45 minutes long. Remember to always check that your multiple choice answers have gone through before ending the quiz -- refresh the page and make sure the answers you chose are still checked.
---------------------------
General Notes:
* On Wednesday Dec 2, the quiz will be available at 3:40pm Boston time and it will be taken down 14 hours later.
* You may begin the quiz within that time period but will have 45 minutes to complete it once you view the questions.
* Your quiz access ends when the 14 hours are up or when your 45 minutes are up, whichever is sooner.
* The quiz will cover material from Lectures 1-10.
* The quiz will be coding and multiple choice questions.
* You may use an IDE of your choice to write code but you must submit code on the quiz site.
* You are allowed to use materials provided in the course (slides or code) or the course textbook.
* You are NOT allowed to use the Internet or discuss the quiz with anyone for the 14 hours while the quiz is available. The one exception to this is we allow you to use Python Tutor to help you debug by yourself.
* If you have already given me your accommodations letter, your timer will be adjusted accordingly.
* To practice, I highly encourage you to do the practice finger exercises on MITx.
----------------------------
Quiz Details and Logistics:
* By starting the quiz, you are automatically agreeing to an honor pledge.
* Each question has a separate Submit button, there is no overall Submit or checkout password.
* Submit early and often! The submission we grade is the last one submitted. When the timer gets down to 1 second, the Submit button becomes disabled.
* During the quiz you only see one or two, minimal, test cases and their correctness for the programming questions. They are there to avoid copy/paste errors from your IDE to the submission page. Your score will be based on how it performs on the test cases WE use.
* During the quiz you will not see whether your submission to non-coding questions are correct.
* Your score will be based on how many of our test cases you pass (i.e. no need to comment the code). In extreme circumstances, we will manually look at the code.
* If there is something confusing during the quiz, there will be a text box where you can write confusions/assumptions you made.
* EXTRA IMPORTANT: To end the quiz, refresh the page and check that your answers have submitted, and you can close the page and/or just let the timer run out.
Good luck everyone!
