Announcements
- 8/30:
- We will have a Quiz on Modular Arithmetic on 9/3.
- We will have a Quiz on the Affine Cipher on 9/10.
- As usual, the worksheets from class serve as the study guides for the respective quizzes.
- 8/26:
- I have uploaded the presentation dates to the Google Drive. Please check that my records match yours. Let me know if anything is incorrect.
Note that if you did not select a presentation date, then I assigned one for you.
- I have created an assignment on OAKS called Presentation Grades. This will house the grade for your Presentation. I will update it
as more parts of your Presentation become due/are completed. Right now, it includes your grade for selecting your Presentation Date.
All other parts are listed as TBD.
- 8/24:
- We will have a quiz on the Caesar Cipher, on 8/27. The worksheet from class is a good study guide.
- I have extended the Syllabus Quiz to 8/25 at 8 PM. There will be no further extensions after this.
- If you have not already selected a presentation date (see below under 8/12), you have until 8/25 at 8 PM to do so.
- After 8/25, I will record 0's for the Syllabus Quiz and Presentation Date, if these have not been completed.

- You can bring in one 3 inch x 5 inch notecard, with handwritten notes (written by you).
- You will have the entire 75 minute period to write a reflection. This will be handwritten.
- Midterm 1 will be on 9/24. The exact content it will be covered will be determined later (with reasonable notice),
based on what we end up covering.
- 8/12:
- The Syllabus Quiz will go online on 8/17. It will be due on 8/24 at 8 PM to OAKS.
- You are welcome to have a four-function calculator for this course, to use on quizzes and exams.
Scientific and graphing calculators (e.g., TI-83, TI-84, TI-89), will not be permitted on quizzes and exams.
If there is any confusion, it is your responsibility to ask the instructor at least a week ahead of an assessment.
- I will not have extra calculators on-hand for quizzes and exams.
- Please fill out this Day One survey. It is optional, and is intended
to help me get to know you all and plan the course.

here, by 8/24 at 8 PM.
- After the 8/24 deadline, your presentation date will not be rescheduled, except in extenuating circumstances. In such cases, you must discuss with me as soon as possible.
-
Please upload a PDF to OAKS containing a link to your news article, together with a brief 1-2 paragraph summary (typed) of what you wish to present.
The summary should be written by you, and not generative AI. Please use proper spelling and grammar. This is due by 8/31 at 8 PM.
- 8/11: Website created.
