What are the Elements
in a Computer Network?
• Hosts – computers
• Communication medium – cables, wireless
medium (EM waves)
• Routers – forward a packet from one place
to another, decide on a path from source
to destination
• Protocols – rules governing the
communication

Achieving Connectivity is Not Easy
Transport Service User
• Layered approach
• We will study the issues in
each layer in a hybrid order
– Application
– Link
– Network

now show up during the lab session
without prior notice
• Lab report must be typed and submitted in
hardcopy on or before due date

Projects
• There are two required projects
– Both are closely related to the information
literacy program sponsored by the CSU
library
• For individual or a team of two
• To gain extra-credit, you are encouraged
to build demonstration programs
– Java applet or plain Java application,
– NS2 simulator

Projects
• Project #1: Select a topic in Chapters 1, 3,
and 7, and build a wiki page for the topic
on http://www.pbwiki.com/.
• Example topics are:
–

–
Fall 2007
Introduction to computer networks
Internet history
ISO/OSI reference model
TCP/IP model

Projects
• Project #2: Select a topic in Chapters 4, 5,
6, and build a wiki page for the topic on
http://www.pbwiki.com/
– For example topics, see the syllabus
• As part of Project #2, peer-review and
revision steps are involved
– Each team is required to review three wiki
pages built by other teams anonymously

Theresa M. Nawalaniec
• Main activity: learn how to perform
literature search
• When: September 24, Tuesday, 2-4pm
• Where: CSU library LCLC Back
• Attendance mandatory: if you miss this
workshop, I will not accept your project
reports

Class Participation
• 10% of the course credit
• In general, there is a mock quiz in the beginning
of each lecture, so that
– I know who is here & I get feedback for my teaching
• To obtain the full credit for class participation,
you must satisfy ALL of the following conditions:
– You do not miss more than 2 lectures
– You do not miss any quiz and lab sessions
– You asked at least 10 questions during the semester
• You will lose all 10% credit if you miss more than
6 lectures/labs

22
Class Participation
• Send me an email with the following information
for each question you have asked within 24
hours after each lecture:
– The question you asked
– My response
– Your comment on my response and suggestion for
improvement, if any

23
Class Participation
• You are also encouraged to send me
comments/suggestions on how you would like
me to improve my teaching so that it is more
conducive
• For each piece of advice/suggestion, it will be
counted as 2 questions
• If you max out the class participation credit, you
will get extra credit if you provide further
feedbacks

Quizzes
• 5 quizzes. Basically one quiz for each layer
• Each quiz lasts about 1 hour
• The quizzes are closed book and closed notes,
except that you are allowed to bring with you a
one-page cheat sheet no larger than the US
letter size (double-sided allowed)
Fall 2007

Quizzes
• No makeup quizzes!
• No midterms and final exam
• Perks: You have two options to improve
your credit on the quizzes:
– The weight of the best quiz is doubled
– The weight of the worst quiz is halved
Whichever is favorable to you

Do not cheat!
• Do not copy other student’s lab report, quizzes
or projects
• Do not copy someone else’s work found on the
Internet
– You can quote a sentence or two, but put those in
quote and give reference
– You can build your projects on top of open source
libraries, but again, you need to explicitly give
acknowledgement and state clearly which parts are
implemented by you

Consequences for Cheating
• You get 0 credit for the project/lab/quiz that you
have cheated
• If the task is worth more than 25% of the course,
it is considered a major infraction
• Otherwise, it is considered a minor infraction
Fall 2007

29
Consequences for Cheating
• For major infraction and repeated minor
infractions
– You will get an F grade, and
– You may be suspended or repulsed from CSU
