Learning Objectives

  1. Consolidate the week's material across all four SecAI+ domains in the morning review session
  2. Demonstrate SecAI+ domain mastery across all four domains in the afternoon exam session
  3. Evaluate AI classroom tool patterns (lab generators, AI tutoring, MCP exercise environments, coding-agent workflows)
  4. Compare hosted-API vs. local-LLM trade-offs for classroom deployments (cost, privacy, latency, capability, compliance)
  5. Discuss adoption paths and customization strategies for workshop tools in your own curriculum

Lecture Notes

Opens Friday morning

The objectives above are the full picture of what Day 5 covers. Lecture notes, slides and lab guides are released when we get there, so the room works through them together.

Afternoon Exam Session

The exam opens at 1:00 PM, after the morning review session. Enter your access code (SECAI-XXXX) to begin. You have the full afternoon session; submit when ready. Results are emailed to the instructor.

Start the Exam

Enter your instructor-issued SECAI-XXXX access code. Your code is your identity — no password. You get an initial attempt plus one retake; after that the code is retired.

After the Exam — Lab Catch-Up & Showcase

Once you submit the exam, the priority is lab catch-up: finish any unfinished labs from the week (completion is recorded for your final grade). If time permits, we close with a showcase tour of AI classroom tools — patterns and demos, no production infrastructure exposed.

PM 1
Lab Generators

AI-assisted generation of lab scenarios mapped to security objectives.

PM 2
AI Tutoring

Local LLM as a Socratic tutor grounded on course materials.

PM 3
MCP Exercise Environments

MCP servers with simulated SOC tooling — no live network access.

PM 4
Coding-Agent Workflows

Generate → validate → repair loop for security scripts and detection rules.

PM 5
Hosted API vs. Local LLM Trade-off Talk + Roundtable

Cost, privacy, latency, capability, compliance — and adoption strategies for your classroom.
