Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

The fundamental objective of the Computer Networks Curricular Unit is the endowment of Students of basic knowledge in the area of Computer Networks.
Students will develop skills in the execution of structured network design, installation and maintenance of Local Computer Networks.

Syllabus

The fundamental objective of the Computer Networks Curricular Unit is the endowment of the Students of basic knowledge in the area of Computer Networks Networks 1 - Concepts
2 - OSI and TCP / IP models
3 - TCP / IP Networks
4 - Ethernet Networks
5 - Network Equipment
6 - Virtual Local Networks
7 - Design of Structured Computer Networks

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

Points 1, 2, 3 and 4 allow the student to acquire knowledge of the theoretical foundations of Computer Networks.
Points 5, 6 and 7 allow you to acquire the necessary skills to design, install and configure small computer networks.

Teaching methodologies

Theoretical-practical classes and laboratory work where the concepts acquired in theoretical-practical classes are demonstrated and equipment is configured either through a network simulator or using real equipment.
Implementation of a structured small business network project with implementation in the laboratory of a section of the network.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

Practical and theoretical tests.
Presentation of the structured network project with the implementation in the laboratory of a section of the projected network.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The evaluation has 3 components:
Theoretical (T): 2 tests (T1, T2) or exam (E). The minimum grade in the average of the tests is of 8.5 values.
Laboratory (L): Practical test (TP) carried out on the Packet Tracer network simulator
Project (P): the project will be evaluated, the report and the performance of the student

The final grade will be obtained based on the formula
NF = 0.4 T + 0.3 L + 0.3 P

at where
• T is the grade of the theoretical component obtained through:
Option 1 - (T1 + T2) / 2
Option 2 - Theoretical Examination Note
• L is the practical test grade
• P is the project grade

Attendance system

This scheme is regulated and requires a minimum attendance of 75% for continuous assessment.
