| Learning outcomes |
|
The course provides to students essential knowledge of data transmission theory. The course content is an overview of the basic computer networks knowledges and the main network technologies.
The basic knowledges from computer network area (especially from LAN networks). The student will be able independently and actively solve the dis-functionality of computer networks mainly on 2nd and 3th level. |
| Prerequisites |
|
The orientation in Unix-like operating systems.
|
| Assessment methods and criteria |
|
Oral examination, Written examination
The student attendance on all practice courses is necessitated. Students with CCNA courses can ask for individual access. On the credit test the students have to present the courses knowledges. The exam is based on theoretical knowledges presented on the lectures. |
