CISS 213 CISCO Networking 1*
Introduction to Networks (ITN), the first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LAN) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches

V. Topical Outline (Course Content)
Outcome: To master course content as defined by course objectives and presented in lectures and demonstrations to the student. Assessment: Students will attain a passing grade on assignments, quizzes, labs, and comprehensive written and production final exam. Outcome: To develop skills with the terminology, design, implementation and troubleshooting of computer networks. Assessment: Demonstrating mastery of terminology, design, and troubleshooting simple local area networks (LANs) by completing assigned activities to a passing level. Outcome: The instructor will actively involve the students in a continual evaluation of the class. Assessment: Classroom evaluations given to the students will be utilized to determine the effectiveness of the delivery method. Outcome: To manipulate and customize network device configuration. Assessment: Given a lab or written scenario, the students will complete the hands-on labs to the satisfaction of the instructor.
