We will start the course with an introduction. This will happen in Zoom, see the schedule for the date and time.
Zoom is a tool for video conferencing. There are clients for the web browser (no installation), the computer (Linux, Mac, Windows) and smartphones (Android, iPhone). Note that it is mandatory to have functioning webcam and headset (anyone with a smartphone has this and so does anyone with a laptop).
You can also use this tool for yourselves too to have meetings in working groups, practice for presentations etc.: just start the client and create your own meeting.
All details covered during this session (and more) can be found in the study guide. Please make sure to read it.
All scheduled events for this course will be scheduled using the University’s central scheduling system. That means all events should be visible to you in your personal schedule in the Student Portal and be able to export them to the calendar app of your choice.
To familiarize yourself with the topic and its importance in society, we will start the course with a seminar to discuss the role of security: What’s up with security? (see the schedule for the date and time).
Create or sign up to a group (see Working Groups below). These groups will be reused throughout the course, whenever group work is required.
