So apparently, from a source, Dr. Michael Monagan, a pretty good prof according to a friend, will be teaching Cryptography next semester. So MACM 442 is definitely going to be on the to-take list.

Carrying on with the crypto-theme, there is a CMPT course that also covers the topic that is being offered in the Fall 2008 semester. This would be CMPT 404, Cryptography and Cryptographic Protocols, a new course that touches on topics that were taught in CMPT 409, a special topics course. I am considering taking this course, but the finals are on the same day (or perhaps assigned at the same time, since MACM 442 is a take-home final). It would definitely be a nice complement.

But what else can I take? Looking at the list of courses I wish to take before graduating, we can see that CMPT 401 (taught by Dr. Richard Vaughan) and CMPT 454 (taught by Dr. Ke Wang) are both being offered. I think I would be leaning towards CMPT 401.

Anyone thinking of taking similar courses or other interesting courses?

EDIT: Just realized that CMPT 401 conflicts with MACM 442 and CMPT 454 conflicts with CMPT 404 so that kinda goes out the window. =/
