This page is about surveillance technology. Class Participation/Quizzes/Homework Each student is expected to have all reading assignments and homework completed prior to coming to class. A 10% penalty per calendar day will be assessed for late assignments or homework. Tests Four exams, including a comprehensive final, will be given covering material from the text, handouts and class lectures. The tests may include multiple-choice, fill in the blank, short answer, matching, and essay questions. If it is necessary to miss an exam, it will be the student's responsibility to contact the instructor to arrange a time to make up the exam. Make-up exams may not be the same exam given during the regular exam date and must be taken prior to the final exam period. Grading Policy Each student's final grade will be determined by the following: Homework/Lab...70% Tests and Comprehensive Final...30% Total...100% Grading Scale A...92-100 B...83-91 C...75-82 D...70-74 F...69 or below
Attendance Policy Students are expected to attend all classes. After three hours of missed class time, 1 point will be deducted from the student's final grade for each additional one-hour of class time missed. It will be the student's responsibility to obtain all information missed. Tardiness to class will result in the equivalent of a one hour absence for every tardy. Course Format This course will use problem-based learning as its primary mode of knowledge discovery. It will be the student's responsibility to learn based on problems presented. Some classroom discussion periods will be used to clarify what is to be learned. Academic Honesty Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. Any student who is caught cheating on a test, exam, lab assignment, etc. will be given a grade of F for the entire course. Other Comments Jackson State will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented physical, mental or learning disabilities. Students should notify their instructor and the Coordinator of Disabled Student Services located in the Counseling Office, Room 12 of the Student Union Building - of any special needs. Instructors should be notified the first week of class. All discussions remain confidential. No children allowed in the classroom. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off in the classroom. Ringing cell phones and audible pagers will negatively impact the student s class participation grade.

Students will complete activities that involve identifying example policy and procedures related to physical security measures, personnel security practices and procedures 82. Students will complete lab activities that focus on hardening operating systems.
83. Students will configure mechanisms to protect information such as setting access privileges, create audit trails, configuring authentication settings, create and implement a password policy and set up auditing on network server. Students will participate in lab exercises using Wireshark to capture and examine network traffic 84. Students will examine samples, when applicable, and discuss security reviews, the effectiveness of security programs, investigations of security breaches, monitoring systems for accuracy and abnormalities, privacy, review of accountability controls, review of audit trails and logs, review of software design standards, verification, validation, testing, and evaluation processes 85. Students will participate in lab exercises using Wireshark to capture and examine network traffic
