Segurança e Gestão de Sistemas de Informação
Student Feedback
The evaluation method is not right in my opinion. Huge amounts of text to read, not worth imo. Recommend this course if you want an "easy" one (with the help of ChatGPT) or want to complete the Cyber specialization, not good for learning in my opinion.

Overall, for anyone who needs an easy course and doesn't mind writing a small weekly report, it's recommended.
This course is for sure the most chill thing ever. It starts with the fact that Professor Borbinha is in charge. He really doesn't care about anything, and the real work is done by the student assistants (who are responsible for grading).
Assessment
There's a weekly report where various documents are provided (from personal experience, reading them is practically useless). They ask for a mind map and some open-ended questions/research on a topic.
Every week you also have to fill out a form to review reports from other...
