Total Points

 

600

 

Your course grade is based on the following calculation:  The number of total points you receive for the course, divided by the total number of points available.  This yields a value that represents the percentage of total points you earned.  The percent is then converted to your decimal grade.  (See Grade Table below for the grade point equivalents.) 

                   

GRADING TABLES:

 

Grading will be based on the standard table below.  The instructor reserves the right to adjust the final letter grade when circumstances justify doing so.

LATE ASSIGNMENTS:

 

Assignments are due at the start of class on the date indicated on the cover sheet (or as announced in class). Assignments received late will be marked 15% off with an additional 10% off for every class meeting that has passed since the original due date. No Assignments will be accepted after the last class meeting of the semester.

 

TESTS and QUIZZES:

There will be two quizzes and a comprehensive final.  Except in special circumstances, no makeup exams will be given.  At the discretion of the instructor, a missed test other than the final may be excluded from the cumulative score.  If you cannot be present for a test, it is your responsibility to make arrangements for an alternate date. 

CISCO ON-LINE STUDY

You will be assigned a user name and password for the Cisco Academy Program at the first meeting.  You may use the Redbud 9 facility or study the material from other locations if you prefer.  Even if you have the book, you should use the on-line chapter review questions and the e-lab activities to prepare for the chapter exams. 

 The web site to access the Cisco Networking Academy Program is:

cisco.netacad.net   (Note:  NO "www" in this URL!)

 

CISCO EXAMS

As you complete each chapter, the instructor will enable the on-line Cisco exams.  The exams will be automatically graded and reported.  You are welcome to review any missed questions with you instructor before or after class.  There are practice questions provided in the text and on-line material at the end of each chapter that are helpful but not required to complete.

The Cisco on-line Final exam, hands-on final, and the TCS project are 50% of your final grade for the class, and 100% of your grade for the Cisco portion of the class.  The chapter exams do not factor into your Cisco grade (But they are excellent practice)

 

CISCO ROUTER ACCESS

We provide a set of routers available via a remote access telnet server.  The login password is ‘cisco’.

On campus: Telnet to 10.152.1.5

Off campus:  Telnet to 198.189.194.131

This is a specially configured ‘reverse telnet’ router that has connections to the console ports on other Cisco routers and switches.  The current diagram of connected routers is on www.technetrain.com/CCNA/rack.pdf (and .jpg). Read the banner message when you log on for further instructions.  Share nicely!  

 

You will need a telnet client such as “putty.exe” (free to download for many platforms from many sites).  For example, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.  If putty is not available, you can use the standard telnet client from any Windows PC: 

Start, Run, and type “telnet 10.152.1.5” or “telnet 198.189.194.131” in the “Open” box. 


 Detailed Schedule and Labs

All labs are from the Cisco CCNA material “en_CCNA2_SLM_v31.pdf” located on your study CD and also available for download on-line from the academy website.   Note that not all labs are assigned, but you may choose to do more than the minimum. The labs should be completed along with the chapter we are studying.   I will NOT be collecting lab papers, so you may do them “on-screen”.  I suggest you make your own notes on key points and commands in your journal.  Remember that I allow you to use your hand-written notes that you enter in your journal during the hands-on final (not the on-line final).
