Although cybersecurity is a major present concern, it is not a required subject in University. In response, we developed Cyber World which introduces students to eight highly important cybersecurity topics (primarily taught by none cybersecurity experts). We embedded it into our critical thinking Common Course (core curriculum) which is a team-taught first-year experience required for all students. Cyber World was first taught in Fall 2018 to a cohort of over 150 students from various majors at the University of New Haven. This article presents the evaluation of our Fall taught course. In detail, we compare the performance of Cyber World students to other Common Course sections that ran in parallel and conclude that despite the higher workload students performed equally well. Furthermore, we assess the students’ development throughout the course with respect to their cybersecurity knowledge where our results indicate a significant gain of knowledge. Note, this article also presents the idea and topics of Cyber World; however a detailed explanation has been released previously.

一年级学生在网络世界课程中的体验–评估

尽管网络安全是当前主要关注的问题,但它不是大学必修的课程。作为回应,我们开发了网络世界该课程向学生介绍了八个非常重要的网络安全主题(主要由没有网络安全专家教授)。我们将其嵌入到批判性思维普通课程​​(核心课程)中,这是所有学生都需要的团队指导的一年级经验。``网络世界''于2018年秋季首次在纽黑文大学(University of New Haven)面向150多名来自各个专业的学生授课。本文介绍了我们秋季教学课程的评估。详细地,我们将网络世界学生的表现与并行的其他普通课程部分的表现进行了比较,得出的结论是,尽管工作量较高,但学生的表现同样出色。此外,我们会根据学生的网络安全知识评估其在整个课程中的发展,而我们的研究结果表明学生可以从中获得大量知识。注意,本文还介绍了网络世界的思想和主题;但是,之前已经发布了详细说明。
