These will typically be due at the beginning of our Tuesday class session. The results of some of these will be incorporated into the course's Web page. Your choice of a term project should reflect your own particular interests. Term projects can range from research papers on a historical or ethical issue to computer based projects that focus on solving encryption problems or other problems related to the seminar's focus. Your term project will constitute a major contribution to the course's Web resource.
Attendance is required.
Class sessions will take the form of a seminar and each student will be expected to contribute to each session. If necessary, we will reserve a computer laboratory for demonstrations and learning to use class related software. Students will be asked to make presentations in class on questions or problems from the reading. You should be prepared to make a significant contribution in class. Each student should keep a hand written journal in a composition notebook.
