Overall Course Structure
Math 302 Advanced Cryptography, Spring 2021
Be sure to check back, because this will be updated during the semester.
Just as last fall, there are some additional constraints this semester because of the pandemic:
- Some of us will be remote for the entire semester.
- Those who plan to be in-person for classes may need to be remote for some period of time due to self-isolation or quarantine, including me!
- We need to be prepared if circumstances require us to shift the class to be completely remote.
This means that the only feasible way for the entire class to meet at once is via Zoom. The basic structure of will be similar to last fall with a few modifications to the schedule since all in-person students will be able to fit in our classroom at once. The plan for class meetings is:
- Monday, 12:30 - 1:25: All students meet via Zoom
- Monday, 1:30 - 1:50: Remote tutorial meets via Zoom
- Wednesday, 12:30 - 1:25: In-person tutorial meets in SC 1314
- Wednesday, 1:30 - 1:50: Remote tutorial meets via Zoom
In particular, note that you should plan to be available for all of the scheduled class meeting time on Monday and Wednesday. As the term goes on, we might have to make some adjustments to the structure of the class, depending on how things are working.
As last fall, let's all be kind to each other, and we'll figure it out.
We'll be using several different resources during the semester, and it's helpful to me to have a diagram of where they will be located and how to find them. You can click on the diagram for a larger version or view a pdf here.
