Dear 1.200 Students,

On Friday, October 24th from 12:00-1:00pm, we will offer a 'supplementary mini-quiz'  for any 1.200 student who wishes to participate and demonstrate his/ her knowledge  about Unit 2 'Optimization Methodology'.  The ground rules are as follows:

1.  This is entirely optional -- no penalty if one does not take the quiz.

2.  Covers only Unit 2 and will involve one problem that must be completed within one hour.

3.  The result will provide one additional datum point, for those who take it, at the end of the term; the grade will not be assigned the same weight as the grades on the two regular quizzes.

Please let me know if you wish to participate or if you have any questions,
Cindy

Hi all,
Problem set 2 has been graded. Mean grade is 85.00 and the standard deviation is 17.61. If you need to look at your solution before the quiz, you can pick up your graded solutions from me on Monday during the office hours (2 to 4 pm). Alternatively, I will bring over the remaining to the class on Tuesday. You can pick them up after the exam.

Happy studying!

Quiz 1 is on Tuesday between 10 am to 12:30 pm. Each one of you will have exactly 2 hour to answer the questions. There will be 3 questions, one on each unit of the course covered so far. Simulation is not included, everything before simulation will be included. You are allowed to have 1 sheet of paper, where you can write on both sides. You won't be asked to write any OPL code.

You have 2 options. You can come in at 10 am and go to room 5-134 (the usual classroom) and hand back the exam by 12 noon. Alternatively, come in at 10:30 am, go to room 5-216 and hand back the exam by 12:30 pm. Please plan to arrive at least 5 minutes before your start time in either case.

We have no recitation today. Problem set 3 is due today till 5 pm in my office. I have regular office hours between 2-4 pm. If any of you would like to come a bit later, please let me know by email. Also, I have special office hours on Monday between 2-4 pm. I you have any last minute unanswered questions please make sure to stop by Monday afternoon. Prof. Barnhart and Prof. Odoni will be out of the town for an important conference over the weekend and will be returning only on Wednesday. They will be available via emails to answer any of your questions as well.
