The flow was a bit herky-jerky, probably a function of the nature of the course. Even for someone who has knowledge of data security, there were some definite kernals to be harvested (pardon the bad pun). Slides had only talking points, the details were only provided by the presenter.

Perhaps one of the best intro security courses I have seen. It is also a great refresher to an experienced person to remember not everyone knows the basics, and how to communicate in a method everyone can understand.

In regard to the buffer overflows, I think you should mention the binary payloads associated with this. Maybe talking about malware a little and then reviewing systems for defense in your next course might be prudent.

This course is for those who need a refresher due to not working in the field or for those who have never taken a course on information security.

Someone with a heavy IT background would benefit from this course. For those newer in IT, it would be beneficial to have a more enticing video.
