Course abstract
The purpose of the course is to introduce students to Internet and computer network architectures, models, protocols, and network elements that connect users, devices, applications, and data through the Internet and modern computer networks, including the basics of IP addresses and Ethernet. At the end of the course, students are able to create simple local area networks (LANs) that integrate IP addressing schemes, basic network security, and perform basic configurations of routers and switches. The Computer Networks (CISCO) I course is first course in the 3-course CCNA series. It is the first of three courses leading to the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• students know the application of network protocol models, explaining the levels of computer network communications - the theoretical test and practical works of the relevant topic • knows how to calculate subnet masks and address areas – theoretical test and practical work on the relevant topic • students know how to create a simple Ethernet computer network using switches and routers - practical works • knows how to configure, check and eliminate problems in the operation of switches and routers - practical work • students are able to independently solve basic computer network problems at network levels 1, 2, 3 and 7. Analyze operations and advantages in transport and network level services and protocols. Identify the basic parameters to configure and build a wireless computer network - theoretical test of the relevant topic, practical works, final test.

Requirements for awarding credit points
To award credit points for Computer Networks (CISCO) Part I: • it is necessary to complete all the theoretical tests provided at the end of each module; • it is necessary to perform practical tasks, if such have been created in the relevant module; • it is necessary to pass the final test. The grade is formed as an accumulative grade, taking into account the theoretical tests, practical tasks and the final test.
Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work
The organization of independent work during the semester is independently studying literature, using academic staff member consultations.
Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes
The mark of the course depends on the cumulative evaluation of the semester: 1. Assessment of theoretical tests (50%), 2. Final test (50%). The maximum number of % is 100%, which corresponds to mark 10 for the course.
