Aims of the course unit:
The main goal is to explain computer networks hardware and software. Student will be made familiar with networks using, design, installation and management.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be able to use, design, install and manage computer networks as well as to develop internet-based applications.
Prerequisites:
The basic knowledge of using computers is required (files and folders operations etc.). The C-language programming is desirable but not necessary.
Course contents:
The course deals with computer networks technologies, principles, standards and services. Network using, design and management are also introduced.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course-unit credit award requirements: active participation in seminars. The examination is oral.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The attendance at lectures is recommended; the attendance at seminars is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation for missed seminars is fully in the competence of the tutor.
