Proseminar: Introduction to Human Factors in Security and Privacy Research (in English)
We will read, present and discuss current research in human factors in security and privacy. We will learn about the structure of a research paper and its similarities and differences to a thesis. We will jointly brainstorm ideas, give and receive constructive feedback, and practice writing a thesis proposal.
This class is in English. If you’re worried that your English is not “good enough”: if you can watch Netflix in English and use the internet in English (e.g., you laugh about English memes), your English is good enough for this class, and a great opportunity to practice. There are no point deductions for imperfect English in this class.
If you don’t understand this text without the use of a translation tool, you may not be ready to take this class in English.
