10. Course overview:
The course will cover the following subjects: Data link protocol: framing of data, functions, flow
control, error detection and control, and retransmission. Local networks: topologies, access control,
such as random access (CSMA) wireless networks (WiFi), bridged networks and standards in the
IEEE 802 group. Packet-switched public networks, principles and protocols: connection-oriented and
connectionless; the internet protocol IP; routing protocols and algorithms for both intra- and inter-
domain routing. Transport protocols: reliable and unreliable transmission; TCP and UDP. Congestion
control and fault handling; communication between processes; connection management; examples of
applications and services.
11. Course objective:
The main objectives to this course are:
1. Build an understanding of the fundamental concepts of computer networking.
2. Familiarize the student with the basic taxonomy and terminology of the computer networking area.
3. Introduce the student to advanced networking concepts, preparing the student for entry Advanced
courses in computer networking.
4. Allow the student to gain expertise in some specific areas of networking such as the design and
maintenance of individual networks.
12. Student's obligation
 No exam will be given after the scheduled date/time without appropriate medical documents. Missed
exams will be graded (0) unless prior arrangements are made with the teacher. Overall passing grades must
be attained in all exams to pass the course.
Professionalism:
You should be able to demonstrate a professional attitude and behavior towards your work, your
fellow-students and your teacher: this includes reliability, respect for and cooperation with colleagues,
willingness to work calmly and courteously under difficult conditions, determination to achieve first-class
work while meeting deadlines, respect for equipment and systems, and constructive response to criticism.
Cheating and Plagiarism:
All forms of cheating, including plagiarism, are a serious offense. The teacher has the right to assign a
grade of "0" on the examination or assignment, or, at the teacher's discretion.

Attendance:
Attendance is mandatory. Students are responsible to ensure that all work, including assignments, is
completed. If, due to some unforeseen event, classes are missed, students must ensure that they keep
current with their work (including assignments).

13. Forms of teaching

“Teacher-Centred Approach to Learning”
teacher is the main authority figure in a teacher-cantered instruction model. Students are viewed as
“empty vessels” External link  who passively receive knowledge from their teachers through lectures and
direct instruction, with an end goal of positive results from testing and assessment. Also using one of the
modern learning technique which is using data show with power point slides which is clear, simple and helps
students concentrate more. As well another advantage of using data show over the chalkboard or marker-board
is that the notes can be pre-prepared which saves time, furthermore enables teachers and lecturers to build up
banks of notes, diagrams, tables, use of animation, figures etc. that can be used over and over again. After
showing and explaining power point slides, students start participating by asking questions, giving answers and
discussing the subject.

14.Assessment scheme

Two or Three examinations 30 %

For each chapter one Quiz and Homework 10%
Final examination 60%

15.Student learning outcome:

After successful completion of this course, student will be able to:
 Describe and analyze the hardware, software, components of a network and the interrelations.
 explain networking protocols and their hierarchical relationship hardware and software,
compare
Protocol models and select appropriate protocols for a particular design.
 manage multiple operating systems, systems software, network services and security,
 evaluate and
compare systems software and emerging technologies.
 Develop solutions for networking and security problems, balancing business concerns,
technical issues
and security.
 Explain concepts and theories of networking and apply them to various situations, classifying
networks, analyzing performance and implementing new technologies.
