Teaching Method

Outline:

General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Information Systems, Programming and Networking
Required, Elective, etc. :Required subjects
Foundational academic disciplines : ：Information science, computer engineering, and related fields / Information security-related
Relationship with Educational Objectives : This class is equivalent to (3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area
Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goals of learning / education in this class are "(A) ..., A-2: ...".
Course outline : In the first semester, students learn about general information security. In the second semester, students learn about specific methods of attack, defense methods, and related laws.

Style:

Course method : The class will be taught mainly on the board, using a textbook. Related technologies are also explained in addition to the textbook, if necessary. Exercises will be given to deepen students' understanding.
Grade evaluation method : The results of the two regular exams will be weighted (60%, Latter Middle: Latter End = 1:1).
Students are not allowed to bring their own notes for each examination.
Students who score less than 60 points on examinations can improve marks if their understanding is confirmed through make-up exams and retests. However, change will not exceed 60 points.
Evaluation is based on exercises and reports (40%).

Notice:

Precautions on the enrollment : Students must take this class (no more than one-fifth of the required number of class hours missed) and earn the credit in order to complete the 4th year course.
Course advice : Be sure to understand meanings and definitions of terms in the textbook. Solve the examples and exercises at the end of each chapter to make sure that you understand concepts.
Foundational subjects : Fundamentals of Integrated Science and Technology(1st year), Information Literacy(1st year) , etc.
Related subjects : Graduation Thesis(5th year), etc.
Attendance advice : In addition to the basic knowledge, students are expected to learn about communication devices and wireless devices used in modern society. Tardiness will be dealt with in one-quarter (=0.5) of the class time.
