The goals of Routing & Switching: Scaling Networks

This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in larger and more

complex networks. Students learn how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end

of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common

issues with OSPF, EIGRP, and STP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will also develop the knowledge and

skills needed to implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium network

Time Management
1. Course will meet for two (2) Lecture Hours and, two (2) laboratory hours per week of instruction.

2. Course will meet for sixty (60) hours of combined instruction and laboratory exercises.

3. Students are expected to spend an equal amount of time (60 hours) in reading the curriculum, and studying

related material in addition to the required lecture/laboratory.

Practical Exam
1. The practical exam will encompass a majority of concepts and procedures developed during the laboratory

experiments and required readings.

2. The practical exam will be totally “hands-on” including routing and switching equipment as well as programs

specifically related to the remote configuration of networking devices.

Examinations
1. All exams, excluding the practical exam, will be a combination of multiple choice, fill-in the blank, matching

as well as simulations.

Other Policies
1. The student expected to complete the On-Line lessons outside of class time.

2. All quizzes must be taken in class and will not be available from the student web site

3. Late assignments will be penalized 20 points.

4. Assignments late more than one class period will not be accepted.

5. All assignments must be completed using a word processor.

6. Students are responsible to see the instructor about any work missed due to absence.

7. Students who miss a quiz must take the quiz within two classes of the original quiz date.

8. Students are expected to participate as a member of teams

9. Students must pass both the Skills based portion in addition to the Academic portion of the curriculum to

pass the course.

10. Student’s final grade can only raise one letter grade above the on-line final exam score based on other class

assignments.

11. Students are allowed a maximum of three (3) re-takes of chapter quizzes per the semester.

12. All re-takes must be completed prior to the final exam, without exception.

13. Department policy is that if you miss the equivalent of two (2) weeks of classes your final grade will drop by

one (1) letter grade.
