Teaching

I employ active learning techniques in my classroom. As my teaching has improved, students spend more time doing and discussing. Read my teaching philosophy.

Courses Taught

Intro to Cybersecurity

I wrote an OER (Open Education Resources) book to introduce cybersecurity principles. Read the book here.

Quantitative Decision Making

This course focuses on spreadsheets and databases. Find free resources I created here.

Intro to Networks and Security

I developed dozens of hands-on exercises to augment the CompTIA Network+ curriculum used in this course. This course requires that students build networks using Cisco equipment. We use hardware in our cyber lab, Packet Tracer, and virtual machines.

Cybersecurity

This course is aligned with the CompTIA Security+ curriculum. I wrote dozens of labs to teach confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Network Operating Systems

The course covers:

• Cloud computing
• Windows Server administration
• Network security

The course uses the AWS Academy content and the Learner Lab environment for hands-on exercises.

Penetration Testing

The two purposes of this capstone course are to:

• Teach skills that support lifelong learning
• Teach the ethical use of tools to discover and exploit vulnerabilities
