Objective

• studying the basic principles of building modern information networks and communications, protocols, procedures and hardware used in building information networks and communications;
• mastering the organization and configuration of information networks and communication networks;
• acquiring skills in working in modern integrated programming systems for implementing network protocols.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• describe types, topologies, methods of access to the transmission medium; hardware components of computer networks; principles of packet data transmission; OSI network model; protocols; types of addresses and addressing systems in local and global networks, organization of inter-network influence;

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• install and configure protocol parameters; check the correctness of data transfer; detect and eliminate errors in data transmission;

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• choose the principle of constructing data transmission systems;

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• explain your own decisions when designing an information network and organizing communication with the team;

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• independent study of modern trends in the development of information networks and communications
• apply hardware and software tools to implement information systems and communications.

Teaching methods

interactive lecture (use of the following active forms of learning: guided (controlled) discussion or conversation; moderation; demonstration of slides or educational films; motivational speech);

building scenarios for the development of various situations based on given conditions;

information and communication (for example, classes in a computer class using professional application software packages);

search and research (independent research activities of students during the learning process).

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
