Module 5 - SLP
NETWORK SECURITY AND THE INTERNET
You'll remember that we're using a common basic format for the Project assignments in all Modules -- that is, the review of relevant professional development websites.
Specifically, for the Session Long Project for this Module, you are to review the Mitnick Security Consulting website [available at https://mitnicksecurity.com/]. Kevin Mitnick was for a number of years one of the most successful bad-guy hackers in the world; at the moment he's presiding over a group of reformed hackerts. An interesting group, no doubt!
You should do the following:
• Look over the range of articles and other resources linked there.
• Follow up links that interest you. In general, become familiar with its contents.
• Pay special attention on the subject of this module and learn as much as you can.
• Look over the career links. Anything interest you? Any interesting themes there?
Then write your review.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Your paper should be two to three pages in length, and reflect your personal experiences with this issue. The important part of all these project assignments is to carefully assess your own experiences with the topic, and then reflect critically on what you might have learned about yourself and about situations through this assessment process.
The more that you can use the exercise to develop personal implications for your growth as a potential business person as well as a moral individual, the more value you'll get out of the exercise.
The general format valid for such reviews in ALL your SLPs here is:
• a short summary description of the website's structure, purpose, pros and cons
• a comprehensive discussion on what you learn from this website regarding the subject of this module (at least half of your write-up should be devoted to this discussion). you can choose to provide a general review, or focus on one theme of your most interest.
• links that you find helpful to follow up
• why you will or will not find it a useful addition to your professional resources list
• any other things about the site that you find salient and worth noting to others
• bottom-line evaluation of its value to you in this program
The last point is very important. Be honest and direct; your assessment is helpful to you and to others. If you don't find it helpful, say so and why, and try to explain what you would find more useful in its place. But also do try to remember also that your education isn't yet finished, that things you don't understand now and don't yet see the value of may turn out later on to be relevant and useful, and that the site's creators may know more about the topic and the profession than you do yet.
Your paper will be evaluated on the following criteria:
• Precision: You carried out the exercise as assigned, or carefully explained the limitations that might have prevented your completing some parts (running out of time isn't generally considered an adequate limitation).
• Clarity: Your answers are clear and show your good understanding of the topic.
• Breadth and Depth: The scope covered in your paper is directly related to the questions of the assignment and the learning objectives of the module.
• Critical thinking: The paper incorporates YOUR reactions, examples, and applications of the material to business that illustrate your reflective judgment and good understanding of the concepts.
• Overall quality: Your paper is well written and the references, where needed, are properly cited and listed (refer to the university guidelines (https://support.trident.edu/files/Well-Written-Paper.pdf) if you are uncertain about formats or other issues.
