Would I take this course again or recommend it: I wouldn’t
take this course again. I do believe it was informative. I touched on computer
security in IS 101 and CIT 112B, but this course went more in depth. I would
like to take more advance cyber security or ethnical hacking courses.
What would I have done differently: The required textbook
for this course, had referenced a lot of outside resources. I could have spent
some time checking them out...
Is it worth the Money: $285 tuition, $19.50 technology fee,
$24 student union fee, $75 Computer Security Fundamentals, 3rd
Edtition (textbook) -- for a grand total of $403.50 plus time invested: I think
it depends on if you’re going to work in network/cyber security sector or not.
I don’t intend to, so me this course wasn’t really worth it. I learn and
discuss some common computer security concepts, researched malwares, viruses, spywares,
DoS attacks, SQL injections, encryptions and other hacks. The text was very
well structured in my opinon and wasn’t a bad purchased. I think you can also
find or purchase a pdf version for about $10.
Certification: Not really.
Transfer to UNLV: Probably not...
