I'm nearing the end of redeveloping two courses for the spring semester. If you were teaching "Linux Programming" (with a focus on server management) and or "Network Security," what would you say "must be in the syllabus?"

These are community college students in the United States.

@garyackerman Technical stuff aside, for Network Security, I'd have a section to highlight how networks are breached with the use of social engineering. Maybe that's not technical enough for your course? But it is important. Social engineering is the biggest vulnerability.

@dimi Thanks for the response. I’m redesigning a course taught by a now-retired faculty member who did not include this in his syllabus. Social engineering was noticeably absent from the previous version!
