COMP SCI 7307 - Secure Programming

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 2 - 2024

The purpose of this course is to learn about secure software, including its design, implementation and maintenance. You will investigate a range of recent real-world attacks in order to understand the significance of the learning that you will do in this course. Throughout this course, you will be building foundation knowledge about a broad range of potential attacks and vulnerabilities. You will get hands-on experience reproducing attacks in an ethical way so you are able to prevent and protect yourself against attacks. This course requires previous programming experience and some understanding of computer systems.

    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course is delivered in a semester, trimester and intensive format, although enrolment options may be limited by availability.

    This course offers opportunities for you to learn through blended learning approaches, meaning some of the learning is done autonomously online and some of the learning is done through face-to-face engagement. This blended approach is used to create a rich scaffolded and supportive learning experience.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    This is a 3-unit course. In the semester or trimester format, you are expected to allocate the following study time to fully meet this course's Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). Please note that students work at different paces, so this indicates the approximate time required to complete this course.

    Learning Activity Hours/Week Duration Total
    Face-to-face learning activities 2.5 hours 12 weeks 30 hours
    Online learning activities 7 hour  6 weeks 42 hours
    Independent study 2 hours 12 weeks 24 hours
    Assessment tasks 5 hours 12 weeks 60 hours
    Expected total student workload 156 hours
    Learning Activities Summary
    In the face-to-face sessions, you will learn concepts, build new skills, and address real-world problems.
    You will be required to complete the online learning activities. Throughout these autonomous tasks, you will have time to process new concepts and build foundational knowledge around them. 
    You will have a chance to apply and deepen your learning in an advanced group project. 

    Learning activities, both online and face-to-face, are scaffolding to the learning builds throughout the course. Through this learning experience, you will be asked to draw on a range of lower-order and higher-order thinking skills.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
