INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD AND PEDAGOGY (Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)
Scheme)
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 and laboratory which carries 10 marks in overall
evaluation.
Two internal exams will be conducted and average of the same will be converted to
equivalent of 15 Marks 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.
STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOMES:
On successful completion of the course, the student will be having the basic knowledge
of TCP/IP protocol suite and will understand the working of internet.
Student will be able to manage any TCP/IP network and also design optimized TCP/IP
network.
