Classic Institute.

According to Wired, Dr. Who might have paid a visit to MIT’s 6.01. As a 6-3 alum, I have to quibble with Annalee Newitz’s “the infamously hard and awesome introduction to computer science class.” Awesome? Yes! Infamously hard? No. Famously well taught, so that many folks from other majors would take it? Definitely.

Update: Better story via MIT itself. The Doctor: 1 / Harvard: 0.
