Wow, this is great. Thank you for the link!


Thanks for the suggestion! Will look into it.


No worries, there were others who also asked this question! There are no exams or deadlines; I'll be simply sending out a weekly email with the slides and relevant articles that we discussed in class.


Do you have any plans to also release video of the seminar?


As of right now, I don't have video setup, but I'm working on that!


That would be great! I would really appreciate that.


I have a course syllabus available here: http://kfrankc.me/cs88s/USIE_Syllabus.pdf


That's a sharp looking PDF. May I ask what software or template you used?


I'd assume LaTeX. The wizardry is strong with this one.


I am betting on Microsoft Publisher. Isn't it hard to get the template right using LaTex?


PDF metadata confirms that you are correct, it was MS Publisher 2013.


> Isn't it hard to get the template right using LaTex

Incredibly.


No programming or prior knowledge in cs is required, just an interest for a more cybersecurity-aware population! Fill out this form if you want to receive weekly updates on materials and slides!


Can you tell us a little more about the qualifications you have for teaching such a class?


Hi! The seminar is part of a program at UCLA called Undergraduate Student Initiated Education (USIE); it is specifically for undergraduate students who want to teach a 1 unit seminar. I have personally taken an upper division CS course on cybersecurity at UCLA, and my professor is my faculty mentor!


Teaching something is a great way of reinforcing the material for yourself, since to end up having to conceptualize the material in a few different ways to meet your students at their own level of understanding. I think it's cool that UCLA is giving undergraduates that opportunity.


Thank you for the support!


How far are you willing to boost the signal on this? I have a few friends I might send the sign-up to who aren't on HN, if that's alright.


Sure thing; the weekly emails will contain the slides I use, as well as relevant articles covered each week.
