ATTENTION! THE PAGES ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION - WE ARE MIGRATING HERE FROM WIKIVERSITY.


In Short

  • The course is an English-language counterpart to the Estonian-language original that has been running on Wikiversity since 2009. Originally born of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic in Autumn 2020 (before, it was only offered by conventional means), it will likely go on (as an option) in future as well.
  • In the Spring term 2020, the course will be offered to the students of Cyber Security Engineering B.Sc. programme at the IT College of Tallinn University of Technology (Tallinn, Estonia).
  • The typical form is almost pure e-course with a face-to-face kick-off meeting (to explain the course system and answer potential questions right away) and face-to-face exams at the end (see the course guide below). During the Spring 2021 run, the likely changing circumstances with COVID-19 will possiby mandate turning both of these events into distance form as well.
  • Supervisor/lecturerː Kaido Kikkas
  • Course code: ICS0006
  • Programmeː at the TTU Study Information System
  • Volume: 6 ECTS credit points

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Where can I find the weekly blogging tasks?
  • A: At the end of each weekly text ("Study & Write")
  • Q: Where can I find the weekly points?
  • A: This is agreed upon at the kick-off meeting in every course. In the 2020 run, the originally-planned link to the points table will be used (see the original course page; the password is also the same).
  • Q: I have zero points for the Week X, but I did write something!
  • A: Any sensible on-topic post will not receive zero points - therefore, please send an e-mail to the supervisor and let him know. It is probably his mistake (unfortunately it sometimes happens during large courses and workloads) and will be fixed ASAP.
