Announcements

All Grades on Stellar (except YoYo paper 4)

Good morning. All assignment grades except Yoyo Paper 4 are now on Stellar. If I have questions about Paper 4, I'll email your team directly. Otherwise, let us know if you have questions or are missing a grade.

You can pick up graded HW's from the shop, the rest of HW8 will be dropped off some time today. We won't keep HW's over the summer, so if you want yours, please stop by the shop before the end of the week. I'll send an announcement when graded yoyo papers 3 and 4 are available.

Last Word on Quiz 2

Hi again .008,

Quiz 2 solutions are now posted on Stellar. Please review them and let me know this week if you feel that we made an error in grading.

Also, on a more personal note, I want to say that I (and the rest of the staff) am very happy with how you did collectively on both exams. It is clear that you have worked hard, displayed substantial interest in the subject material, and will be coming out of this class with a powerful toolbox of fundamental skills that will serve you well should you choose to venture into engineering post-graduation.

It's been a real pleasure!

Yo-yos and Course Evaluation

Dear Class,
Please be prepared to hand in 6 yo-yos at presentation, the rest are yours to keep.  I want to remind you to fill out the End-of-Term Subject Evaluations survey by Monday, May 22 at 9am.  It's very important to us for improving the course.  Here's the link: http://web.mit.edu/subjectevaluation
It's been a great semester, and I'm looking forward to your presentations!
All the best, Dave

P-Set 8 posted, P-Sets 5 and 6 revised, Further Information for Quiz 2

Dear 2.008 class:

(1) Solutions for P-Set 8 are now posted.

(2) The solutions to both P-Set 6, Question 3, Part b, and P-Set, Question 1, Part j were incorrect. Please check the updated versions on Stellar; if you were docked points and had the correct solution, please let me know via email with an attachment including a picture of your solution page.

(3) A student asked in office hours today whether you need to copy tables or material properties into your equation sheet. The answer is no. You should, however, have information that helps you understand, apply, and identify the manufacturing processes we discussed in class, especially with regard to rate/quality/flexibility/cost. Also important are key equations from the slides/homeworks, specific information/facts on the slides, and techniques for solving the engineering problems we've encountered so far.
