JS 502: Intro to Computer Forensics
Taken Fall 2011
Instructor: Gary Warner
I took this class because cybercrime has become the new way to commit crimes and I wanted to better understand it. I found the class very informative and interesting. You learn a lot, but as a graduate student you need to put a lot of work into the class because there is a mini-research project. This class opened the door to me working in Gary's lab, which because of it I am getting the computer forensic certificate.
I am not a computer person, but you don't have to be to take this class. He is sometimes hard to get a hold because he has a lot going on, but if you don't understand something he is more then willing to help. Best time to talk to him is after class, you won't get a response if you email him because he gets thousands of emails everyday.
