No major changes have been made to the course, beyond adjustments of the content to reflect recent developments in thefield. Adjustments to the means of delivery were also made, to accommodate comments made by the students.

The learning outcomes and the content of the course are reviewed and updated annually as appropriate, to keep thecourse up-to-date with developments and progress in the field. Judging by the results of both the term paper (contributing to 51% of the grade) and the final exam (contributing the remaining 49%), the students appear to have achieved the learning outcomes to satisfactory extent.

This year there was again no student teaching assistant based in Trondheim. This should be taken care of next year, asexperience has shown that local support is important in maintaining good contact with the Trondheim-based students andin resolving practical problems (e.g., connectivity). As the final exam has been take-home, extra care was taken tocome up with exam questions that would not lend themselves well to being answered to by generative AI. Note that this course is being offered concurrently with IMT4203.

No major changes have been made to the course, beyond minor adjustments of the content, to reflect recent developments, and adjustments of the means of delivery, to accommodate comments made by the students.

This year there was no teaching assistant based in Trondheim; this should be improved next year, as experience has shown that such a (local) teaching assistant van significantly help in improving communication with the students and resolve practical problems such as those with connectivity.  Two assessment forms are being used, namely a term paper and a home exam. The students appear to be satisfied with these forms of assessment. The learning outcomes and the syllabus/description of the course are being updated every year, to reflect recent developments in the area. The course's learning outcomes build upon those acquired in previous courses and contribute to the achievement of the program's learning outcomes.

The course is being delivered jointly with IMT4203.

The course was taught jointly with IMT4203. Hence, the course evaluation reports are the same for both courses. The course run smoothly and the learning outcomes seem to have been achieved by most of the students, judging by the grade statistics. However, the quality of the answers to the final exam questions was lower than expected; this can be attributed to the type of the exam (take home), a type with which the students are less familiar with. The lecturers’ performance in terms of stimulating student interest; encouraging discussions; usage of variety of instructional methods; accessibility outside of class was generally good, but room for improvement exists in some areas/cases. See attached the relevant results of the survey for Q1.1-Q1.4. Student feedback focused on (see attached survey results and reference group report)<ul><li>The good level of the teaching quality</li><li>The high availability and responsiveness of the teachers to student feedback</li><li>The good content of the lectures and the provision of a holistic understanding of the subject by the lecturers </li><li>The need to ensure that the quality of the sound in videos is high;</li><li>The need to increase the weight of the term paper towards the final grade</li><li>The need to announce the schedule for each session earlier (at least 2-3 days before class), when this is changed from what is written in the syllabus.</li><li>The need to encourage discussion among the students</li><li>The need for more interaction and engagement by the instructors on the tutorials. Better sound and teaching skills on some of them.</li></ul>

The learning outcomes of the course are up to date and relevant. They are communicated to the students by means of the course's description; the course syllabus; and they are presented to and discussed with the students in the first lecture. They build upon learning outcomes of previous courses and the link to learning outcomes of courses taken in parallel (e.g. IMT4204).

The learning activities comprise lectures and tutorials. The lectures aim primarily at contributing to the attainment of the knowledge and skills learning outcomes, whilst the tutorials (on security issues of specific types of critical infrastructure) primarily aim at contributing to the attainment of the skills and general competences learning outcomes. Q&amp;A sessions before the exam were also held; the students found these helpful. The students' own efforts are expected to contribute to the attainment of all learning outcomes. With regards to the learning environment, the general teaching quality of the course was assessed by the students as "nice providing both fundamental knowledge and practical applications on different CI aspects during the tutorials.". Further, according to the students in the reference group "The teachers of the course have been available for the students. Feedback has been continuous evaluated and necessary changes made accordingly to suggestions in order to improve as good as possible."

Two forms of assessment are used, namely a term paper (a review/survey paper) and the final exam. These two forms contribute to the overall grade by a percentage of 33% and 67% respectively. The term paper aims primarily at assessing the attainment of the skills and general competences learning outcomes, whilst the final exam aims primarily at assessing the attainment of the knowledge and skills learning outcomes. The students found the weight of the term paper to be less than the effort it takes, and recommended it be increased. This change has been requested for the next edition of the course (in 2021). According to the students in the reference group, "The change of the exam format due to the covid-19 situation was solved in a good way! The shortening of the exam time and the changed nature of the questions was fitting for the new format. However, the weighting between exam and term paper was not changed, which created a mismatch between what should be expected from a very short exam vs. a quit extensive term paper."
