Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with basic concepts and technologies of computer communications and computer networks.
Students should be able to design a simple local area networks, to have notions about network management and connecting of local area networks (including connections to the Internet) and about the issues of security of computer networks.
|
Prerequisites
|
The prerequisite is - The basics of programming (ZPG)
|
Assessment methods and criteria
|
Combined exam, Seminar work
Active participation in seminars, working out a seminar work - practical application in network domain (switch or router configuration, connecting to Internet). Exam has two parts: the content of the written part is creating and configuration of simple network in simulation environment (e.g., PacketTracer). The second part of the exam is focused on understanding of the basic principles of computer networks.
