Computer Crime - 2009 - Review Q and A

ANNOUNCEMENT: Because of the website outage Saturday night, I am extending my Q&A policy. I will respond to questions I receive until NOON on Sunday, December 13, 2009.

NOTE: I am not posting every single student question. Instead, I am only posting student questions that I believe the class, as a whole, will benefit from hearing. Some questions are too basic to deserve attention. Other questions are too advanced and nuanced. So don't take it personally if your question doesn't appear here. (Do take it personally if I don't respond to one of your questions. I might have forgotten to get to it, so if you don't hear from me in a day or two, please ask again.)

Deciphering the Mind Maps
Q: Should we read anything into the little pluses--the closed branches--on the mind maps? Are we responsible for things found on the mind map that we never discussed in class?

A: As I have said, you should focus the most on what we discussed during class, not on what the mind maps shows. A closed branch most likely represents a topic we didn't discuss, and although you're still responsible for whatever was in your reading, expect the exam to focus on what we discussed in class.

Likewise, a branch on the map that I skipped during discussion should be treated as a topic we didn't discuss in class. Use your notes as the definitive guide, not the maps.
