Using AI to support learning and study activities
AI tools may be used in DAT510 as a learning aid, but must never substitute for the understanding of network security and cryptography the course builds and assessing protection mechanisms yourself — that is precisely what you must master yourself. Productive uses include asking AI to explain a concept (e.g., how a cryptographic protocol works, what access control in a distributed network involves, or how malware is detected), to debug or test work you have made yourself, or to generate practice problems for self-testing before the exam. You remain responsible for critically evaluating whatever the AI produces, and any use of AI in assessed work must follow the course's guidelines.

Course assessment
The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
