Emphasis is placed on student involvement with businesses or agencies dealing with technology security issues or computer crime activities. Upon completion, students should be able to successfully analyze, retrieve erased evidence and testify in mock proceedings against these criminal entrepreneurs.

I grade on a ten-point scale. There will be three projects in this course, the average of which will be your final grade.
I expect students to attend classes. Much of the material covered in my lectures is not covered explicitly in the textbooks. You are responsible for material covered in class whether or not you attend. If you must miss, ask a good "note taker" to cover for you. Only after you have reviewed the notes from the class, and still do not understand, will I attempt to clarify the material. If you miss four days (typically two weeks of class), I will deduct ten points from your final average.
Students taking online and distance education courses should be active in the online community and make regular postings and contributions to the discussion boards. I expect online students to make continual, regular progress towards the course objectives; I will not accept attempts to complete 80% of the course in the last two weeks.
For the official last date of withdrawal, always refer to the Official Academic Calendar. To withdraw, see your advisor who will help you initiate the paperwork; you will need your instructor's signature on the form. Also, if you receive financial aid, you should check for ramifications before withdrawing.
You should read "Student Rights, Standards of Student Conduct, Discipline, Appeal and Grievance Procedures" in the Student Handbook, paying special attention to Standards of Student Conduct. If you cheat on any assignment, exam, or part of this course, you will receive an F in the course.
If you are a student with a documented disability and will need academic adjustments to realize your full potential at SCC, please contact Wesley Satterwhite, Disability Services Coordinator, located on the lower level of Oaks Hall, (828) 339-4229, or wesleys@southwesterncc.edu. Your visit to this office will be the first step in creating an Educational Support Plan to ensure your full academic access to the college. For online students, if you would ordinarily seek accommodations or modifications when taking a face-to-face class on campus, you may find that taking an online class eliminates the need for any adjustments. However, you may find that some accommodations are still necessary to make your online experience fully accessible. You are encouraged to make sure that all aspects of this class are accessible to you and make sure that all the accommodations you would need in a face-to-face class are appropriately addressed in this class. Information, documentation and other records provided will be maintained in a confidential manner as outlined in the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.
