Moodle

Please enroll in our Moodle course.

Due to the ongoing corona virus pandemic, we will run CRYPROT 2020 as an online course for the time being:

  • Lectures will be pre-recorded, questions will be handled via the respective content discussion forums in Moodle
  • Instead of group exercises, students can voluntarily hand in their solutions to receive feedback

Please note that lecture recordings and corresponding material will appear according to the regular schedule defined in TUCaN. In case the situation improves throughout the summer term, we might switch to regular in-person lectures and group exercises (and no longer provide lecture recordings & feedback on individual exercise solutions).
