5. Presentation topics
During the semester students must design 1 presentation. The topic of the
presentation is defined by instructor and cover some actual problem from field of
subject. Students are based on the lecture, laboratory and other sources design
presentation alone. Presentation must include as minimum 15 slides. In Table 5 is
present information about presentation topics. Presentation is evaluated by 10
points scale. For this work is planned 20 hours of class out activity.

7. Evaluation criteria for current knowledge, interim evaluation schedule

In order to determine the level of understanding the subject by students from the
lecture and laboratory is organized current checking of their knowledge.
Additionally one times in semester is organized midterm exam at 8 week.
The assessment of the knowledge is based on the multipoint system. The
student can achieve the maximum 100 points. This is 50 points in the final
exam and 50 points in the semester.
The points is collected during the semester is determined by "ASOIU council"
decision dated by 30.01.2019
050615 ”Information security” specialty:
-20 points for presentation;
5
 -10 points for quiz;
-20 points for midterm exam
Total grades of student during semester sum with final exam grade ( max 50
points) and total assessment of knowledge is determined by following scale
50 and below points- “fail” -– F
51-60 points – “sufficient” – E
61-70 points– “satisfactory” – D
71-80 points – “good” – C
81-90 points – “very good” – B
91-100points – “excellent” – A

Midterm will be held on the following date
