Learning Cyber Security or Only Memorizing?

Abstract

A self-study course was designed in 2020 in such a way that the explicit objective ofstudy would be the exams based on multiple-choice questions. The idea was to letstudents do what teachers often complain they do anyway, and to infiltrate somelearning as a byproduct of the memorizing procedure. Investigating how the ques-tions are solved shows that this approach is suboptimal. Partial question disclosures,intentional or not, and practice exams are common, whence the result and how itwas obtained can be useful elsewhere too.
