| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE AIM OF THE COMPUTER NETWORKS COURSE IS TO TEACH THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF COMPUTER NETWORKS, AND TO STUDY THE MORE WIDESPREAD NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR PERTINENT PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES. THE COURSE CONSISTS OF A THEORETICAL AND A PRACTICAL PART. IN THE THEORETICAL PART THE BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR THE DESIGN OF A COMPUTER NETWORK ARE STUDIED: NETWORK ARCHITECTURE, ENCODING AND RELIABLE TRANSMISSION, PACKET SWITCHING, NETWORK INTERCONNECTIONS, TRANSPORT PROTOCOLS, NETWORK CONTROL, AND APPLICATIONS. THE PRACTICAL PART IS CARRIED OUT IN LABORATORY AND AIMS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIMPLE CLIENT-SERVER APPLICATIONS USING THE C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND THE BERKLEY API SOCKET. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE AIMS TO MAKE STUDENTS ABLE TO CONFIGURE AND MANAGE SMALL LOCAL NETWORKS , DEVELOP SIMPLE CLIENT-SERVER APPLICATIONS, AND USE NETWORK SERVICES IN A CONSCIOUS WAY. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO DESCRIBE THE COMPUTER NETWORK HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPONENTS WITH PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE MAKING JUDGMENTS: STUDENTS WILL BE GUIDED TOWARD THE CRITICAL AND RESPONSIBLE LEARNING OF CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS THE ENRICHMENT OF THEIR ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS ABILITIES BY MEANS OF SUITABLE STUDYING MATERIALS THAT THE TEACHER WILL PROPOSE IN ORDER TO GET THEM ACQUIRE ADEQUATE JUDGMENT CAPABILITIES. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF OPERATING SYSTEMS AND C PROGRAMMING. IT WOULD ALSO BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COMPUTER NETWORKS COURSE IS MADE UP BY A THEORETICAL PART, THAT IS TAUGHT WITH HEAD-ON LECTURES, DEALING WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF NETWORK OPERATIONS, , AND A PRACTICAL PART, THAT IS TAUGHT IN LABORATORY, DEALING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLIENT-SERVER APPLICATIONS IN C. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| SIX EXAM SESSIONS DURING THE WHOLE ACADEMIC YEAR, IN ADDITION TO A SPECIAL ONE RESERVED TO STUDENTS WHO NEED ONLY FEW EXAMS TO REACH THE CREDIT THRESHOLD FOR THEIR DEGREE. EACH SESSION IS PROVIDED WITH A WRITTEN TEST, A PRACTICAL TEST AND AN ORAL TEST. THE RESULTING MARK IS CALCULATED USING A WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE THREE TEST MARKS. |
