  1. 7CCS4CFC & 7CCSMCFCComputer Forensics & Cybercrime Richard Overill

  2. 7CCS4CFC & 7CCSMCFC • For MSci CS, MSc CILM and MSc Computing & Security students only • Reading course (no lectures / tutorials) • Dissertation (5,000 words maximum) • All dissertations on different topics within the area of cybercrime & cyberforensics, and also distinct from MSc project (CSMPRJ) topics • Proposed dissertation topics to be agreed with Module Leader individually by mid-February

  3. 7CCS4CFC & 7CCSMCFC • Dissertation assessment: • A thorough literature review covering the whole topic would normally gain a Pass. • In addition, a rigorous critical analysis, assessment and evaluation would normally gain a Merit. • In addition, a fully-justified, technically-based original proposal or novel contribution to the topic would normally gain a Distinction.

  4. 7CCS4CFC & 7CCSMCFC • Plagiarism: • wherever you quote from a book, article, manual, webpage, etc. you must cite the source of your quotation in the References (in full). • any statement in your dissertation which is not attributed by a reference citation is assumed to be your own. • ‘passing off’ the statements of other authors as if they are your own is deemed to constitute plagiarism. • you must assume that search engines will be used to check the text of your final dissertation for plagiarism.

  5. 7CCS4CFC & 7CCSMCFC “Plagiarism is passing off someone else’s work as your own, or submitting a piece of your own work that you have already submitted as part of a different programme, module or at a different institution. The penalties for plagiarising by the College can be severe. Uploading work to KEATS is regarded by the Department as a statement by the student concerned, confirming that the work has not been plagiarised.”

  6. Possible Dissertation Structure • Title page, Acknowledgements, etc. • Table of Contents, List of Figures, etc. • Introduction, Background & Motivation • Literature Review • Critical Assessment & Evaluation • Original Proposal of Further Work Needed • Summary & Conclusions • References • Appendices (if any)

  7. Additional Points • Use a 12-point font, single-spacing, with one blank line between paragraphs • Use a standard format for references (Springer, IEEE, Harvard are all OK) • Ensure all references (including URLs) are complete – i.e. they take the reader to the exact page of the document • Submit electronically via KEATS (26th April 2013, 1700 hrs BST)
