See ELMS for assignments. Readings will be posted before the previous lecture, so you will always have links to the upcoming lecture's readings and the readings for the lecture after that. If you will not be able to attend lecture on a particular date, you must have an excused absence on record on ELMS or you will lose the in-class assignment points for the day. If the lecture time was an in-class exam, it is your responsibility to contact Dr. Marsh as soon as possible to schedule a make-up.

The schedule below is subject to change. SE2e refers to Ross Anderson's Security Engineering, Second Edition (see the sidebar for a link).
