  1. Section Assignments: Please log in to see your section assignment.

    Section changes are being processed on a first-come, first-served basis through our section change form. If you were not assigned a section, or if you would like to change your section, please use that form to do so.

  2. Final Exam Tuesday 12/19

    Please note that the final exam for 6.101 is on Tuesday 19 December starting at 1:30pm in Johnson Track. We will not have options for earlier exams, so please plan your schedule and travel to be sure you can take the final exam in person. This also applies to cross-registered students -- 6.101 follows the MIT calendar, by which the term may end later than at your home institution. (And similarly, cross-registered students will also need to take the midterm exams on the scheduled dates.)
