Course Outline
This course is a concept class with a lab
component. The goal of the course is to introduce some of the
main networking concepts that are taught in any introductory
networking course and to reinforce those concepts with
software labs. The labs are structured around exercises that
highlight topics addressed in the course material taught in
the weekly classes such as network addressing, subnetting,
switching, ARP, dynamic routing, and protocols. The course
consists of 10 weeks of classes. In class quizzes (both
written and lab) are used to evaluate the students’
understanding of the material and ensure that students have
completed the lab exercises. The Piazza online
discussion tool will be used to instigate class discussion
around the course and lap topics. I highly encourage
participation and give grade credit for those that are active.
