News December 2019 Monday, December 16: Final exam info We wish you well on the 6.034 final exam tomorrow: Tuesday, Dec. 17, 1:30pm-4:30pm, at Johnson Track For those of you new to MIT, the Johnson Track is on the second floor of the Johnson Athletic Center (W34). There will be signs and people directing you where to go. Monday, December 16: Another chance to get 6.034 T-Shirts! There was sufficient interest in ordering more 6.034 t-shirts that we’ve opened up a second group order form. The shirts will be the same as in the last order: black with white letters, in two varieties---crew-neck ($11.21; YS-4XL) and V-neck ($12.52 ; XS-3XL). There's a sizing chart on the order form; the shirts run a bit small. As a (soon to be) 6.034 alum, you’re welcome to order as many shirts as you like. You can see the design and place your order directly through the 6.034 2019 Custom Ink group order form: https://www.customink.com/g/wqq0-00c3-4efh THE GROUP ORDER FORM WILL CLOSE ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22nd AT 11:59pm. We will coordinate shirt pickup during IAP and Spring Semester. Thursday, December 5: End of term info Grade calculator : You can access the 6.034 grade calculator (so you can see what your final grade is right now) here . Final exam survey : Please fill out this Google form if you plan on taking (some of) the final exam. We'd like to get an estimate of the number of finals to print out (and save some trees). Recitation : Recitation on Mon 12/9 and Tues 12/10 will be a Lightening Review of all the topics in the class, with some problem solving. Office Hours : All regularly scheduled office hours from Thurs 12/5 to Wednesday 12/11 are cancelled. There will be OH Thurs 12/12-Mon 12/16 for the final exam (see schedule on OH page). Final exam review sessions : We will have some final review sessions, split up by quiz topics, between Thurs 12/12 and Sat 12/14 (see schedule on OH page). Bonus SRNs : The lectures from 12/2 through 12/11 will have bonus SRNs on the final. The points will be added into your total SRN score before dividing by 3, so they essentially act as extra credit points (see piazza post @590 for an example). Final class : What we learned, what classes to take post-6.034, the final exam, t-shirt distribution, and goodbye! Class evaluation : Please help us make 6.034 even better by filling out the class evaluation survey available here until Monday, December 16, 9am. What did you like? Not like? What would you like to see kept? Changed? etc. For 6.844 students, please fill out the survey evaluating the 6.034 components of the class and include evaluation of the 6.844 components in the comments section.

Thorough understanding (5) Acceptable understanding (4) Some understanding (3) / Needs work Problem 1: Neural Networks (50) ≥ 46 ≥ 42 ≥ 38 Problem 2: SVMs (50) ≥ 45 ≥ 41 ≥ 35 Total ≥ 91 ≥ 83 ≥ 73 Reminder: The goal of our 3,4,5 scale is to group level of understanding into three broad categories so that you and we can get a sense of your level of understanding (thorough/acceptable/some understanding) without caring about exact point totals. The cutoffs for these levels, though, are “soft”: The cutoffs are applied using a smooth stairstep function (in fact, a sigmoid) and as a result are gradual. So being a few points below the cutoff won’t make a significant difference in the final calculation of your 6.034 grade, just as small point differences don’t reflect significant differences in u...
