Instructional method and Pedagogy
• At the start of course, the course delivery pattern, prerequisite of the subject will be
discussed.
• Lectures will be conducted with the aid of multi-media projector, black board, OHP
etc.
• Attendance is compulsory in lecture which carries 10 marks in overall evaluation.
• One internal exam will be conducted as a part of internal theory evaluation.
• Assignments based on the course content will be given to the students for each unit
and will be evaluated at regular interval evaluation.
• Surprise tests/Quizzes/Seminar/tutorial will be conducted having a share of five marks
in the overall internal evaluation.
• The course includes a laboratory,where students have an opportunity to build an
appreciation for the concepts being taught in lectures.
• Experiments shall be performed in the laboratory related to course contents.
Learning Outcome
On successful completion of the course, the student will be having the basic knowledge
of data sharing, transmission media and their protocols. Student will have the basic
knowledge of computer networks.
