Assessment methods
1. Attendance: 10 points (for each absence is minus one point.) 2. Search and summarized information resources (about 300 words): 10 points (2-3 articles. Topics will be distributed at the beginning of the semester. Summary is not expert source, there are no citations, rather self-performance of the content, own opinions and suggestions for discussion. The texts will be available to the other at least 3 days before solving the topic. It will be evaluated in depth of explanation, selection and analysis, clarity of information presentation and the ability to provoke debate.) 3. Leading the part of the lesson based on summarized resources (about 5 min. presentation, 15 min. discussion): 25 points (Based on the previous point.) 4. Team (3-4): a plan to get employees for training (20 min. presentation): 30 points (Groups of 3-4 students suggest how to motivate, engage and empower employees of selected organizations to training about information security. It will be presented in the last third of the semester.) 5. A letter for real organization management about security policy (1 page): 25 points (Each individually write one page letter to the existing organization of their choice, which justifies the need for security policy just for this organization and why it should be promoted by the management. The result will be sent to this organization, and I will be in the copy - no later than two weeks before the end of the semester.) You must obtain min. 60 points for completion of the course. In case of plagiarism the result is warning in the first case, after the latter case negative assessment of thw course will follow. When anything is not clear or you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible, learning takes place primarily in the interaction. When you do not solve the situation in time, do not be surprised that I will not take it into account later. Assessment methods correspond to the subject INLS 566 Information assirance (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
