Constant risk to the confidentiality, integrity and the availability of information in our everyday lives and work has increased the need for responsible use of information and computing/networking systems. It is therefore vitally important that courses in information security encourage students to recognize relationships between concepts and comprehend the underlying structure of what is being learned. The current study examines the experiences gained in a senior-level undergraduate computer security course, with an emphasis on the students' reactions/perceptions/experiences as well as the educator's role in the teaching and learning process.
