Students are expected to submit questions in advance and participate in Q&A sessions for each class, and asked submission of research paper after the class lecture series.

A. Course Grade Based on the university course guidelines, grade scale is divided into two categories. A.　Class Contribution: 30% B.　Final Research Paper: 70% Total: 100% A+ = 90% or above, A = 80-89% B = 70-79% C = 60-69% F = 0-59% B. Attendance Policy: Student's attendance is mandatory. It is your responsibility to manage your schedule during semester. Since active participation in the class is the main portion of class contribution, attending every class is important. In this class, students have one free absence without penalty. There are two types of absence: excused absence and unexcused absence. Excused absence is the absence that is deemed excusable for the consequence of missing class work due to the circumstances that physically keep you from attending against your will. In case of unexcused absence, you will be docked 2.5 points per class you miss. If you miss four classes, you will also receive a letter grade penalty. Students who have six absences (whether you have excused absences or not) in total, will be dropped from this course. C. Research Proposal and Presentation: All students will make a short presentation of their research proposal during class on July 3. If you are unable to attend on this day, you must notify the instructors beforehand and arrange for an alternative presentation time. Your research proposal should be 1-2 pages in length or several slides and include the following elements: -A clear and concise statement of your research question or topic. -A brief overview of the key issues or debates you will address in your paper. -A preliminary list of sources you plan to consult in your research. Your research proposal must be submitted by 11:55 p.m. JST on Thursday, June29, 2023. D. Final Paper: Assignment Students will be assigned the final paper as a part of requirement for this course. In this assignment, you will write a research paper based on your choice of topic (with an approval from instructor(s)) related to policy, politics, or any practice of digital/internet communications focused on the scope of cybersecurity. In your paper, you will bring a case from your home country, Japan, or any other country, address, discuss (or debate), and analyze the key issues in academic/scholarly manner. Final Paper (7-10pp.) Due: 23:55 p.m. Friday, July 28, 2023

Required textbook: There are no required textbooks for the class. Handouts and/or brochures will be provided in weekly guest lectures. Students are free to collect and make their own list of ‘study materials’ such as books, academic journals, news arti-cles, or published papers for background knowledge.

Cybersecurity Sources: This is the list of sources that will be helpful for your understanding of cybersecurity issues. Books and articles are academic oriented and agenda specific, so you might want to check if they draw your interest in connection to your own research emphasis. You can use Google Scholar and Academic databases for searching additional sources. Also, it is highly recommended to check news articles and security experts’ blogs to become familiar with the recent security trend. A.
