Grading Guidelines
40%
class participation
in class and on on-course participation are both counted.
60%
weekly essays
due every week
Participation in the classroom and in the discussion area in On-Course are both credited. If you are more comfortable speaking than writing, or more comfortable writing as opposed to speaking, you may choose only one. Participation should illustrate that any assigned reading has been complete, or when there are no readings that the course presentation was carefully watched. Participation professional in tone will not be counted as a positive contribution. To be perfectly clear, any student who diminishes the contributions of less advanced students will find his or her own grade suffers.
In terms of the weekly writing, each week there is a 300 word commentary on the lecture. The commentary may be a summary, or a comment, or you may ask a question, or you may connect the lecture to some current event. The commentary must illustrate awareness (to be passable) and understanding (to be excellent) of the lecture materials. Grammar and spelling count.

As computers become as ubiquitous as lighting, can privacy be maintained?
April 15: Wireless in Theory and Practice
Matt Hottell, Lecturer and Researcher in Informatics
Economics and the study of risks indicates that risk, education, and ability should predict use of wireless encryption at home. But does the data support the theory?
April 22: Usable Security

Usability and human interaction are a core part of the Informatics learning experinece.For students who choose Informatics as a major as well as security as a minor, this will provide a window into your future educational experience.
