|Grading: | |
|Examinations: |The exams will cover the material discussed in class and in the readings. The final examination is comprehensive, but will |
| |emphasize the “new” material presented since the last exam. The examinations are closed books and closed notes. |
|Case Study: |Graduate students enrolled in this class will be responsible for one case evaluation. Students will utilize the concepts learned |
| |throughout the class to discuss issues related to the specific case assigned by the instructor. |
|Case Presentation: |Students enrolled in this class will each be responsible for one oral presentation of a mini case study. |
|Labs: |Up to six lab exercises on implementing security in a network environment will be assigned. These assignments will give students |
| |the opportunity to do hands-on exercises that will help them better understand the concepts learned in class. |
|Makeup policy |
|You are responsible to make sure that your assignments are turned in on time. Late assignments will not be accepted unless you have an excused absence. An |
|absence from class will be considered an "excused absence" under the following circumstances: |
|a) Absence due to illness. An absence due to illness is excused ONLY IF the student notifies the professor of the absence in advance (i.e., prior to the |
|missed class) and provides documentation of the illness upon return to class. |
|b) Absence due to an official University activity. Absence due to an official University activity is an excused absence only if the student notifies the |
|professor of the absence in advanced (i.e., prior to the missed class) and provides written documentation of the University activity from an appropriate |
|University representative prior to the absence. |
|c) Absence due to emergency. Evaluation of whether an absence due to an emergency is an excused absence will be made by the professor on a case by case basis.|
|At a minimum, the student should notify the professor of the absence as soon as possible and should provide documentation of the emergency. |
| |
|Academic integrity |
|All students are expected to comply with University rules and regulations on academic integrity and honesty. These rules and regulations are summarized in the|
|Student Conduct Code (). Disciplinary sanctions may be imposed for violations of these rules and |
|regulations. |
| |
|Academic integrity— Students are expected to maintain principles of academic integrity and conduct as defined in EIU’s Code of Conduct |
|(). Violations will be reported to the Office of Student Standards. |
| |
|Turnitin. To encourage original and authentic written work, students may be required to submit their written assignments in this course for review to |
|, or other systems designed to detect plagiarized material, and those assignments will become a searchable document with the Turnitin (or other |
|system’s) database. |
