SEC571 Principles of Information Security and Privacy
Final Exam Study Guide
The final exam consists of 8 questions which relate to material presented during the entire course including assigned reading from the text, lectures, tutorials, and threaded discussions. The exam questions are randomly selected for each student from question pools so that the questions you get will be different from those another student gets. For each of the 8 Terminal Course Objectives covered in the course there will be one question. You should expect 7 essay questions and 1 multiple choice question.
Please be sure to read each question carefully and check your answer to be sure you addressed exactly what was asked for in the question. Often students lose points needlessly because they did not answer the question asked. Perhaps they read the question too quickly and made assumptions in their haste. There is no need great haste. You will have 3.5 hours to complete the exam which, when divided evenly, comes out to over 26 minutes per question. An extra 15 seconds to read the question carefully will be time well spent.
