In other words, full time job type time consumption (from one of your probably four or five classes) doesn't qualify for call-by-name status. Yowza. Great post, though I wonder if the call-by-name phenomenon is more about notoriety than actual difficulty. For instance, the only other call-by-name class I can think of is "Orgo" (5.12, Organic Chemistry), which people thought was hard but not comparable to Unified, Junior Lab, or ICE. There's also the secondary tier of fame, classes whose numbers you can say to nearly anyone without mentioning the course. Notable examples include: * The "Double-oh's" (6.001, 6.002, 6.003, and 6.004, the four intro Course 6 classes plus 2.007, the Course 2 intro to Design and Manufacturing) * 170 (6.170 - Software Engineering Lab) * 100B (18.100B - Analysis, the "more demanding" version "for students with more mathematical maturity")
