COMP SCI 7412 - Secure Software Engineering

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 3 - 2024

This course will introduce the theoretical concepts and practical approaches and tools that support the security concerns in the whole systems development lifecycle resulting in software that is secure by default. The course will cover a wide range of software security topics ranging from as security as a cross-cutting concern, methodological approaches to improving software security during different phases of software development lifecycle, integrating secure software development principles and patterns into software development processes, contemporary paradigm of secure continuous software engineering, DevSecOps. The course will be offered in a workshop style mode with small and large parts of software development projects being the major types of assessment tasks.

  • 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.

    Assessment Summary
    Assessment:
    1. Quizzes: 15%
    2. Three assignments: 45%
    3. Individual Reflection: 12%
    4. Group report: 14%
    5. Group presentation: 14%

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
