Eta Kappa Nu reviews
From the introduction: ``The Underground Guide is published
each term by Eta Kappa Nu. Our goal is to serve the undergradutes of
the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Course
VI) at MIT by providing information that would be otherwise difficult
to obtain. We hope that students will find the Underground Guide
useful in deciding which term to take a required subject, what recitation
section to get into, and what electives to take. As a secondary goal, we
hope to provide the Course VI faculty with feedback from their students.
We hope they will consider what their students said here when planning
future terms.''
