Hello Undergrads,


I hope everyone enjoyed their last weekend before finals! This time of the year can be very stressful, so make sure to take time to relax and reflect on all you've accomplished this semester.


Tonight tune in at 7:30 PM to watch the 2.009 final presentations. The event will be available for viewing through a live webcast linked from the course homepage (http://web.mit.edu/2.009) and videos of the event will be available afterwards on the course home page.
