Lots of exercises to do but overall a fun and informative course.

The subject is incredibly interesting and Prof. Wilson's passion for the subject is apparent throughout the course. Unfortunately, the course suffers from a pacing issue. The workload is heavy making the course more difficult and stressful than it needs to be.

Quiz: 1 quiz a week, 3-6 questions on material straight from the lectures. Assignments: Each assignment is a partial penetration test. These assignments go from 20-30 minutes in length at the beginning of the course to +6 hours each with more than 2 due in a given week. Exam: One final exam. He makes the past 5 years of exams available and the questions come from there and the quizzes.

Prof. Wilson is great. He is always available and responds quickly. He is passionate about the subjects he teaches and it shows throughout the course.

Get ready for a stressful semester if you're taking any other intense courses.
