Welcome and Important Notes
Please read, then print this syllabus for reference: (1) More than THREE missed assignments or TWO missed exams will result in exclusion. It is your responsibility to drop the class; failure to drop the class in a timely manner will result in a “W” or “F” on your record. (2) You have approximately 7 days to purchase the required material. Those who have already purchased the required course CD should start to review the CD as soon as possible. (3) You must log on to ETUDES “Modules” and ”Assignment” for course instructions. Starting the first week, you will have at least one assignment for every chapter and you will have at least one week to work on an assignment. Due dates for each assignment will be posted. Late assignments are accepted in moderation. (4) There are currently 18 assignments. Please note that the solution for every assignment can be found on the printed "outline", "facts sheet", or "description of terminology" in the course simulation. Assignment solutions are also posted by the instructor. Solutions are available after you have submitted your assignment. For most of the questions in the assignment, I will give full credit as long as your answer contains certain KEY WORDS. (5) There are currently 18 exams. Due dates for exams and assignments are posted under "Assignments & Exams Schedule". Typically, exams are available for a three-day period. Each exam will start at 6:00am and will be available until 11:00pm on the last day an exam is available. Each exam is timed for 60 minutes. Exams will typically consist of multiple choice questions. THERE ARE NO MAKE-UP or RE-TAKE EXAMS. (6) You will prepare for exams by using the materials provided in the Cisco Academy website, the TestOut training CD, and/or optional textbooks. This includes; reading the Cisco Academy modules, viewing multimedia lectures and lab configuration demos, reviewing fact sheets, performing lab simulation exercises, and taking the practice exams. (7) Exam scores related to this course are determined by the Cisco Academy website. Students will take all exams using the Cisco Academy website. The academy site will track exam scores and maintain a cumulative total, as well. Lab scores and results generated by completing simulated labs will be tracked by the TestOut software. (8) We will use "Private Messages" on the lefthand menu to communicate with each other. I will use "Private Messages" to make important announcements. Once the course begins all questions, issues, or problems should be brought to my attention by sending emails to INSTRUCTOR (Marcus Butler) using the ETUDES "Private Message" system. In other words after the course start date do not sent emails related to this course to my WLAC email address. (9) Lab Simulations and Demos are very important to skill development. Exam Simulations have answers and explanations which helps to build your knowledge base. (10) All other college/class rules will be enforced.
