Diane Zak, Applied Data Communications, 2nd Ed., by James E. Goldman, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998. |
| Prerequisites: | CIS 190 (System Hardware Concepts) & CIS 110 (Computerized Business Applications). It is the CIS department's policy that if the prerequisite requirement is not satisfied, you cannot take the course. |
| Objectives: |
From the calendar: "This course discusses the application and technical contents of the data communication field in order to expose students to why and how data communication systems work. The major components of a data communication system are described as well as the way they fit together. The course also provides description of the terminology and discussion of current issues raised by current legislation, and recent changes coming from carriers and providers of communication services."
|
| Late Assignment Policy: |
The CIS department has decided on a no late assignment policy. As systems crash, and workloads can fluctuate, you should try to get your work finished well ahead of the deadlines. This also allows you time to ask questions and do further study if you get stuck.
|
| Doing Your Own Work: |
You are expected to do your own work in this course, and not to copy from others. Group discussions of course material and studying together for tests are encouraged. However, assignments and examinations must reflect the knowledge of the individual, not of a group.
