Announcements
Revision schedule
Hi all,
some of you who haven't made it through the storm to class this morning have asked about this Friday's schedule. Prof Autor clarified this morning that his extra revision session (3-4.15pm in E51-057) replaces recitations on Friday. Also remember that there will be two extra TA office hours this Thursday in addition to the usual one (so from 1-4pm). All of these will take place in E52-204. We hope this schedule will assist you in your final exam preparations. Best wishes, Ben

Problem Set #6 is graded and solutions are posted.
we have graded your problem sets. Among those who submitted the PSet 6 solutions the statistics are as follows: mean=85; 75%=95; 25%=60. I strongly encourage everyone to read PSet 6 solutions posted on the website. I was flexible in grading and sometimes gave full credit to not entirely correct answers, the grading will be more demanding in the exam.
Have a good weekend,
Anton
