How this course was organized
What's here, and what isn't
- 10 of 10 assignments/exams couldn't be tied to a specific point in the course, so a single, verified course-wide order isn't shown — materials are grouped by section instead.
Not included here
19 items from the source could not be safely included:
- Found in the source, but not linked to a specific point in the course, so it isn't shown as an activity. (10 items)
- MIT's page format for this item wasn't recognized clearly enough to place it safely. (9 items)
Materials by section
Grouped by section, as MIT organized them. Not sequenced or ordered.
