Text Book:
1. Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet (3rd
Edition) (Hardcover) by James F. Kurose (Author), Keith W. Ross (Author).
Publisher: Addison Wesley; 3 edition (May 13, 2004)
Language: English ISBN-10: 0321227352 ISBN-13: 978-0321227355 .
A power-point presentation is used to provide some information to support and supplement a student-centric problem/project-oriented learning methodology.
Attendance
Policy: In view of the continuous evaluation
strategy adopted by the instructor, perfect attendance is recommended for those
aspiring to get good grades. . It is
important that you communicate with the professor and the instructional team
prior to being absent, so you, the professor, and the instructional team can
discuss and mitigate the impact of the absence on your attainment of course
learning goals. Please inform the professor and instructional team if you
are unable to attend class meetings because you are ill, in mindfulness of the
health and safety of everyone in our community. If you are experiencing any symptoms
of COVID (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms
testing/symptoms.html) please seek
medical attention from the Student Health and Wellness Center (940-565-2333 or askSHWC@unt.edu) or your health care provider PRIOR to coming to campus.
UNT also requires you to contact the UNT COVID Team at COVID@unt.edu for guidance on actions to take due to symptoms, pending
or positive test results, or potential exposure.
Grading Policy:
The graduate students will have a different set of
examinations with less problem solving and more theory and algorithms whereas
the focus of undergraduate examinations will be on problem solving. The
break-up for overall grading is as follows.
Assignments/Quizzes/Class Tests:
70, and Project: 30. Grades A, B, C, D, and F will be assigned, typically but
not necessarily, depending upon whether the total tally will be greater
than/equal to 90, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, or less than 60, respectively.
Academic Dishonesty: Honesty is the
best policy. Cheating will not be tolerated. Anyone found guilty of
cheating on a test or assignment will be awarded an F grade for the course.
Discussions of problems and assignment with your classmates is welcome and
encouraged, however, sharing of solutions is not. If you need help, you should
ask the instructor. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, all forms of
plagiarism and misrepresentation. For your rights and responsibilities please
refer to http://www.unt.edu/csrr
Statement regarding Disabled Students: The University
of North Texas makes reasonable academic accommodation for students with
certified disabilities (cf. Americans with Disabilities Act and Section
504, Rehabilitation Act). Students seeking reasonable accommodation must first
register with the Office of Disability Access (ODA) to verify their
eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with a
reasonable accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private
discussion regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request
reasonable accommodations at any time; however, ODA notices of reasonable
accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid
any delay in implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of
reasonable accommodation for every semester and must meet with each faculty
member prior to implementation in each class. Students are strongly encouraged
to deliver letters of reasonable accommodation during faculty office hours or
by appointment. Faculty members have the authority to ask students to discuss
such letters during their designated office hours to protect the privacy of the
student. For additional information, refer to the Office of Disability Access website (http://www.unt.edu/oda). You may also
contact ODA by phone at (940) 565-4323.
Inclusive Learning Environment and Support for Your
Success
I value
the many perspectives students bring to our campus. Please work with me to
create a classroom culture of open communication, mutual respect, and
inclusion. All discussions should be respectful and civil. Although disagreements
and debates are encouraged, personal attacks are unacceptable. Together, we can
ensure a safe and welcoming classroom for all. If you ever feel like this is
not the case, please stop by my office and let me know. We are all learning
together
Final Exam
Date and Time: There will be no final examination.
