Announcements for Week 4 (Mon, 25 Sep - Fri, 29 Sep)

The Registrar has posted the MIT Final Exams Schedule. The 6.390 final will be held on Monday, 18 December 2023, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time, at Johnson Track. The Registrar will also schedule a Conflict Exam for 6.390, and will announce that schedule after Drop Date. For cross-registered 6.390 students who have a schedule conflict with the 18 Dec final exam, we expect to make the 6.390 conflict exam time (as scheduled by the MIT Registrar) available to them as well. Note that all final exams (regular and conflict) will only be held during final exam week, Mon, 18 Dec through Fri, 22 Dec.
For both regular Monday and Wednesday class meetings, you may attend your assigned section only. If you need to change your permanent section assignment, or if you need a one-time temporary section change, please email 6.390-personal@mit.edu with that request.
