iceui2: I find your comment a little condescending, though hopefully it wasn’t meant that way. There’s nothing wrong with taking 6.00. Personally, I found it to be a great foundation for my future programming classes. Each term a number of people try 6.01 without having a good foundation and end up dropping out because the pace is too fast for the unprepared. On the other hand, there’s nothing wrong with self-studying and going straight into 6.01, but for various reasons (time consuming summer jobs, different learning styles, etc.) that might not be feasible for everyone.

mcr11 or anyone else wondering the same: If you feel you would be better served by 6.00, take 6.00. Or if you find yourself forced to take 6.00 after trying 6.01, take it. It will in no way be detrimental to your progress in the department.
