Assignment:
- This week, we will continue our training in the Gym to learn more about cybersecurity tools and techniques, and to prepare returning Net/Op students for competition in the NCL 2019 Spring Season.
- It is expected that everyone will complete as many of the Gym exercises as they can by May 16th. This will allow for us to prepare for the end-of-course final exam over the week of May 13th. The current high score in the gym has been capped at 5000 points, so your final assignment grade will be graded on a curve down from this point total. In essence, you will receive a grade based on how close your score is to 5000, so you should continue working in the Gym for the next two weeks, regardless of how much (or how little) you have already completed.
- The final exam will be held on May 17th during the regular class period. It is a 100 question multiple choice quiz covering all six of the chapters studied during the first half of the course, plus some of the cybersecurity tools we worked with in the second half of the course. We will review this material the week of the 13th.
