Text: Computer Networks and Internets, Douglas E. Comer,
Prentice-Hall, 4th Edition, 2004
This course will study topics in computer networking
and communication. The course will be made of four components:
1) On-line instruction and quizzes
2) Laboratory sessions
3) Demonstration sessions
4) Weekly help sessions
On-Line Instruction/Quizes
The course will run using an on-line tool
called Moodle. Go to augnet.augsburg.edu -- click on My Courses (moodle) and
under Winter Trimester select CSC 240.
You will need access to AugNet for this
course and should contact the IT department at Augsburg if you do not have a
login and password for AugNet (this is the same login and password used for
"augsburg.edu" web-mail). If you have another e-mail account you will
still need to get an Augsburg login from IT in one of the following ways;

visit: Student Computing Desk on the second floor (link level) of the library.
The text has 41 chapters. We will take them
in order and roughly about 3 chapters per week. I will post a quiz for
each chapter. Sometimes the quiz will require you to search the Internet
or use some internet tool. You will have to spend about 2-3 hours per chapter
on the internet reading, researching and taking the quiz.
Grading will be based on your total quiz
grades. Quiz questions will be available in Moodle before you take the quiz.
You can research the questions ahead of time as you get only one chance to take
the quiz. Quizzes will be available for approximately two weeks. You will have
to keep up with the quizzes as they will be taken off Moodle approximately one
week after we discuss the chapter. The Final is a comprehensive on-line 20
question quiz (using the same format as the chapter quizzes).
Laboratory Sessions – we will break from the classroom and go into the
lab for some demonstrations and labs. You will write a journal of your
laboratory projects.
