downloads, book, lecture, offprint consists in some part of a lot of redundant information here it would be nice, to reduce this, or mark it out more clearly that one could read either .. or»

Genomsnitt: 2.97 - Keeping the computer updated can be learned from any newspaper. The rest can be replaced with 5 min reading in the book, plus 10 min of tutorial reading if you want to use Nessus.» (Poor)
- felt a bit like "first push this button .. after that this button" - i know it is a lot of work to supervise then (that"s why we have almost nothing like this at my home university ,) - if you would make the other labs more challenging one could maybe drop this last one ...» (Fair)
- Abit short» (Fair)
- Would probably have been better if it wasn"t for the problems with Nessus.» (Fair)

14. What can be improved about the lab part of the course?- more help on where to find answers to the questions»
- No»
- The labs should require thinking, and not just following instructions and writing down the results. The labs could be changed so that the submissions could be corrected automatically. Also, it should be allowed to do the labs alone.»
- gain learning about practical part»
- Lab need to be correct quickly so you dont have to wait, week and week and week to get the results...
1st lab can be extended and updated to present situation.»

I did not like it. Pfleeger"s book is better» | | 1 | | 2% |
Genomsnitt: 1.08 - The amount of reading material was huge, it will be better to lessen the quantity in order to increase the quality.» (I did not read it)

Genomsnitt: 3.65 - No exercise sessions or the like.» (Rather poor)
- during labs at least» (Rather good)
- The number of lab sessions were definitely inadequate, and the students had difficulty accessing the lab room in other times. I think all student should get access to the lab room during the whole course period to be able to work on labs whenever it matches their own schedule, not only a few limited sessions decided on teachers schedule.» (Rather good)
- laborants were polite and fair» (Very good)
- But I think it was rader poor.. Only opportunity was during the lectures? Or maybe the labs.» (I did not seek help)

Adequate» | | 4 | | 12% |
Good» | | 23 | | 69% |
Excellent» | | 3 | | 9% |
Genomsnitt: 3.75 - Much too simple. Either the students have some basic understanding of security, or they can read the book. This course assumed that neither was possible.» (Poor)

- Its a very good course for learning security aspects regarding computers and secure communication» (Good)
- A good well structured introductory course to computer security.» (Good)
- I would recommend it...» (Good)
- This course will be better for me to do master thesis related to the computer security» (Excellent)
- very interesting and useful» (Excellent)
26. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- Labs are very good»
- The first lab was good in many ways. The course book was also very good.»
- Encryption/Decryption»
- Lectures. 2nd, 3rd lab.»
- Labs.»
- authentication and GPG labs»
- ever thing»
- Mix of labs and lectures.»
- The lecture, The lab»
- Labs»
- -»
- Lab assignments.»
- All the lacture notes and relevent data regarding to the course. »
27. What should definitely be changed to next year?- The book "Security in computing" is not really good. Too many repetition»
- Either make the course more difficult, or create a continuation course (in addition to network security and language based security) with the same topics, but at a deeper level. It would also be interesting with much more research material in the course.»
- Nothing»
- 1st lab. Overhead slides...»
- the 3rd lab»
- I think there should be group excercises. This is the first course in the Networks and Distributed programs and group excercies would not only contribute to learning but to know other students.»
- nothing»
- Lab booking system.»
- workload should be reduced »
- -»
- The number, content and the method of lectures. »
- Every thing is reasonable.So I do not think that there should be any changes in the course next year.»
28. Additional comments- It"s impossible to find the 3rd edition. Can you stop your references to this edition and update them to the fourth ?»
- Course helps me a lot about security in computers.»
- Who came up with the great idea that we put the exams of TWO mandatory courses (New MPNET students) in the beginning of the exam period, on MON & TUE?! To little time to study to both of them, choice has to be made.»
- nice class:) thank you very much»
- Thanks alot to all the team of CS.They were very cooperative to us.»
- Happy Xmas in advance :)»
- thanks!»
- I like Arne :)»
- The course give very dood ideas about the security of the computer which are very helpfull in reducing the future problems.»
