Demonstrate basic proficiency with bounded and unbounded network media, noise, control, and various network connectivity devices
Demonstrate an understanding of Ethernet and wireless networks
Demonstrate an understanding of OSI and TCP/IP models
Understand the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, IP addressing, default IP addressing schemes, creating custom IP addressing schemes, the implementation of IPv6 addresses, and delivery techniques
Demonstrate proficiency with switching, static IP routing, dynamic IP routing, virtual LANs, Plan a S OHO Network
Understand WAN Transmission Technologies, WAN Connectivity Methods, and voice over data transmission
Understand remote network architectures, remote access networking implementations, virtual private networking, and VPN protocols
Understand computer security basics, system security tools, authentication methods, and encryption methods
Grading:
Evaluation of student performance is based upon pupil performance objectives relating to course competencies study. The number of competencies mastered and the degree of mastery is translated into appropriate grades consistent with the C-TEC Board of Education policy on grading guidelines, practices, and procedures. In the process of evaluation, instructors obtain several grades for each student within the time frame of the program/course. These grades may include, but are not limited to, performance on tests, quizzes, homework, assignments, special research projects, classroom participation, lab competency mastery and/or improvement and the demonstration of positive employability traits.
Journal Reflection: A journal reflection should begin with an introductory paragraph that introduces the main topic of the article and summarizes its content. Following the introduction, a few paragraphs should be written detailing insights, implications, and how the information might be applied in your career. In addition, the reflection should include your personal thoughts and opinions concerning the content of the article. Reflections should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2 pages in length.
Students must maintain a 70% GPA.
Final grades will be assigned based upon the student's accumulated points. Letter grades will be assigned using the following scale: Grading Scale 90-100% - A 80-89% - B 70-79% - C 60-69% - D 59% or below – F
Credentialing:
CompTIA® Network+® (Exam N10-005)
Course Policies:
Disruptive Behavior – Disruptive behavior of any type is NOT permitted and may result in dismissal
from the program. Sleeping during class, tardiness to class, excessive talking during class and disrespectful behavior are examples of disruptive behavior.
Plagiarism – Submitting plagiarized work for an academic requirement is considered academic misconduct. Plagiarism is the representation of another’s work or ideas as one’s own; it includes the unacknowledged word-for-word use and/or paraphrasing of another person’s work, and/or inappropriate unacknowledged use of another person’s ideas.
Diversity - It is the responsibility of the instructor and the students to foster and maintain a harmonious, non-threatening and non-discriminating environment in the classroom. Therefore, all individuals are to be respected as equal and contributing partners of our society.
Attendance: Must maintain at least 90% rate of attendance. You are required to attend all classes. However, you may miss up to 2 classes and still pass the course. Any other absences must be approved by the program supervisor.
Homework is to be completed in each chapter at the start of each class period as assigned by the instructor.
