Practical exercises:

Working on many smaller exercises and homeworks supporting the understanding of the theory.

Great emphasize is given to your understanding of the basic principles and to your technical skills, too. Therefore you have to solve several theoretical assignments and many practical exercises. Some can be solved at the school using your teachers and class mates carefull guidance/help. Others you have to work with and solve at home or in your study group.

ITSec is not like swimming:
You can learn by doing - But it is not enough to do you will have to read about it !

The subjects have been chosen in accordance with the official datamatician curriculum as given by the Danish Ministry of Education and the syllabus at ZIBAT, Roskilde Computer Science..

Teaching Principles
The teaching will be based on classic lectures, discussions, smaller practical assignments, groupwork and individual work and team building/work on the on the mandatory assignments.
Class (10-11 weeks): Lectures 30%, Individual Assignments 25%, Group work 20%, Mandatory Projects 25%

Relations with other subjects
ITSec is closely related to:

Object Oriented Programming, 3. semester.
C# programming
CODS Computer Networks 3. semester
Basic IT-security concepts, SSL

Mandatory assignments
There are 2 mandatory assignmets in ITSec.
This will involve groupwork of 4-5 students as well as individual solutions.
The mandatory assignments must be passed.

Exam
There is one exam held after 4. semester.

An oral individual exam in the individual synopsis (5 weeks research)

To proceed to the 5th Semester, all mandatory assignments in all three electives must be passed and a minimum of 02 must be achieved at the exam.

Program enviroment
There are many program enviroments (program enviroment is a word for editor, compiler/interpreter, Virtual Machine etc..) for C#. We shall use Visual Studio for several reasons:

It includes the newest facilities in C#
Relative simple to use (starts up from a prompt, or a simple window with menu, buttons etc.) and not complex.
It is free for students at our school.
