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.''
