information security and assurance.
MAJOR COURSE OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this course is to allow students to:
TEACHING METHOD
This is a lecture-based course. The student is expected to have read assigned
materials as listed on the course schedule prior to each class. The class
discussions/lectures are intended to emphasize the primary concepts from each
chapter and to provide an opportunity to answer any questions that may result
from the readings. Because of the intensive nature of this class, it is
essential that each student allocate adequate time to prepare for every class
session.
STANDARDS OF HONESTY
ALL PORTIONS OF THE AUBURN UNIVERSITY HONESTY CODE (TITLE X11) FOUND IN THE
TIGER CUB WILL APPLY TO THIS CLASS.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Based on several years spent observing student performance and class
attendance, your professor concludes that people who skip class tend to receive
very low grades. The choice is yours.
SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Students who need special accommodations should make an appointment to discuss
the Accommodations Memo with me during my office hours as soon as possible. If
scheduled office hours conflict with classes, please arrange an alternate
appointment time. If you do not have an Accommodations Memo but need special
accommodations, contact The Program for Students with Disabilities, 1244 Haley
Center, 334-844-5943 (Voice T/O).
