Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
  • Preparation for classes - 36 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 42 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 24 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 48 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The basic principles of the recent computer network and survey of basic knowledge for network management is the content of this course.
Students should be able to practically design simple local area networks, be familiar with network administration and networking options for local area networks (including Internet connectivity) and computer network security issues.
Prerequisites
Basic principles of Operating Systems

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination

Successful completion of the final test (one remedial attempt possible), active participation in the exercises, and ability to create patch cord. At the regular and make-up credit periods, as well as at each examination period, all aids are prohibited except those permitted by the teacher.
