No programming or prior knowledge in cs is required, just an interest for a more cybersecurity-aware population! Fill out this form if you want to receive weekly updates on materials and slides!

Can you tell us a little more about the qualifications you have for teaching such a class?

Hi! The seminar is part of a program at UCLA called Undergraduate Student Initiated Education (USIE); it is specifically for undergraduate students who want to teach a 1 unit seminar. I have personally taken an upper division CS course on cybersecurity at UCLA, and my professor is my faculty mentor!

Teaching something is a great way of reinforcing the material for yourself, since to end up having to conceptualize the material in a few different ways to meet your students at their own level of understanding. I think it's cool that UCLA is giving undergraduates that opportunity.

How far are you willing to boost the signal on this? I have a few friends I might send the sign-up to who aren't on HN, if that's alright.

Sure thing; the weekly emails will contain the slides I use, as well as relevant articles covered each week.
