Course Goals
|
|
|
Through this course, it is expected for students to understand basics technologies for information communication networks, such as a layered model of communication systems, functions of each layer, computer networking devices and their roles and functions, network services, network security issues, queueing theory, and so forth. The goal of this course for the students is to become able to properly explain each technology.

Grading System
|
|
|
Students whose attendance rate is less than 70% cannot get any evaluation. Evaluation is based on reports (30%), the term examination (60%), and the lecture participation (10%). By reports, students' understanding of every lecture is evaluated. By the term examination, basic knowledge, understanding, and application ability are evaluated. The evaluation is based on 11 grades. The ratio of A+ is not greater than 5% of registered students. The ratio of A+ and A is between 5% to 20% of registered students.
