Website http://www.malware.org/teaching NB: some version of IE want to unzip pptx
files… don’t let them Warning: Slides I haven’t given might get
changed before class, so while you are welcome to read ahead, assignments might change
Grading Programming is something you do…
Thus, there are many assignments You lose half a letter grade for every day you are
late Your peers will tell you this doesn’t happen… but it will
this year! Assignments are due before class on the day
assigned This year, all assignments will be submitted through
Grading (cntd) To make a passing grade in this class you
must pass the final Assignments + Class Participation + Spot
Quizzes are about 70% of your grade Midterm and Final are the other 30%
However, note the caveat above
Plagiarism I have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism Any incidents will be referred to the College of
Engineering Try me on this, I have done it before!
However, why? I want you to learn, and cheating mainly cheats
yourself Learning and understanding host and application
security will change how you think about computing
Classes Please come on time
But if you’re running late, come anyway! I’m not going to always warn you about tests,
and they do count toward your final grade!
