<p>Josefi: /* The Seminars */</p> <hr /> <div>=== The idea ===<br /> <br /> The Crook of the Week seminars are meant for student presentations/talks about famous social engineers of the past. Each seminar will host up to <br /> '''four 15-minute presentations''' by different students, plus discussion. The main points of the presentation are<br /> * to introduce the person (biography)<br /> * to explain the motivation behind his/her actions<br /> * to study the ''modus operandi'' (ways) of social engineering by this person<br /> * to outline the main human weaknesses the person exploited (cognitive biases, automatic thinking etc)<br /> * to summarize the main lesson the person teaches us<br /> <br /> A successful presentation will result in passing the course if the attendance criteria (5 out of 8 lectures and seminars) is met. To register a presentation, either log in and write it to the schedule below by yourself, or send an e-mail to Kaido, stating the chosen time and person to cover.
