The course has three sections. The first section provides an introduction to data communications and applications. The second section discusses the technical fundamentals. The third section examines networks. All students must take exams at the scheduled times except for emergencies.
Assignments are due on or before the start of class on the due date.
Assignments are designed to be learning tools and will be helpful when you prepare for exams. All assignments must be written individually, but I encourage you to work in groups to discuss the questions and issues. You will correct you own assignments in class to help you pinpoint the areas in which you need additional work. Any student that makes a reasonable attempt at all assignment questions will receive full points. Assignment 1 1.
