For each of the domains of learning shown below indicate:

(i) A brief summary of the knowledge or skill the course is intended to develop;

(ii) A description of the teaching strategies to be used in the course to develop that knowledge
or skill;

(iii) The methods of student assessment to be used in the course to evaluate learning outcomes
in the domain concerned.

a. Knowledge

(i) Description of the knowledge to be acquired

 Understand the structure and organization of computer networks; including the division
into network layers, role of each layer, and relationships between the layers.
 In depth understanding of transport layer concepts and protocol design; including
connection-oriented and connection-less models, techniques to provide reliable data
delivery, and algorithms for congestion control and flow control.

 lOMoARcPSD|50803827

 In depth understanding of various network management standards and their perceptives.

 Understand the SMTP protocol and its working in detail.
 Understand the basic concepts of broadband network Telecommunication network and
their management.
 Understand the basic concepts of network security concepts; including authentication,
integrity, key distribution, and system security design challenges.

Critically appraise current and possible future technological innovation and assess them.

(ii) Teaching strategies to be used to develop that knowledge: Lectures, tutorials and theoretical
assignments.

Assignments require use of library reference material and web sites to identify information
required to complete tasks.

(iii) Methods of assessment of knowledge acquired: One multiple choice test and one theoretical
test as Internal Tests will be carrying 30% of marks.

b. Cognitive Skills

(i) Cognitive skills to be developed

 The ability to develop understanding of layering approach and management services at

each layer in different management standards that provides the basis of logic behind
separating the various management services and protocols at different layers .

The ability to develop general abilities of an intellectual, analytical problem-solving nature related
to networking area.

(ii) Teaching strategies to be used to develop these cognitive skills

Comparing the task of each layer with modular programming approach. Making them
understand that each layer works like a function of programming language and return some
services to its upper layer.

The assignment exercise will also help in developing the understanding various services and
protocols.

(iii) Methods of assessment of students cognitive skills : The programming assignments and
objective type tests will be carrying 30% of marks.

c. Interpersonal Skills and Responsibility

(i) Description of the interpersonal skills and capacity to carry responsibility to be developed

Team work: Division of work, group discussion on the various topics of computer networks.
Preparing group for seminars on any latest topic in data communication technology and finally

 lOMoARcPSD|50803827

presenting it.

(ii) Teaching strategies to be used to develop these skills and abilities: 5% of assessment is based
on individual’s contribution to the group task and on the presentation

(iii) Methods of assessment of students interpersonal skills and capacity to carry responsibility

The presentation will be given by all the group members indicating his/her subtopic in the main
topic. The individual will be assessed on whether he/she is involved in learning and understanding
other’s subtopic and correlated it in as any idea in his/her presentation.
d. Numerical and Communication Skills

(i) Description of the numerical and communication skills to be developed

Seminar presentation, Numerical problems will be given on the topics like : ATM networks ,
Virtual LANs, IP Addressing , Cryptographic Algorithms etc.

(ii) Teaching strategies to be used to develop these skills: Presentation of work can help in
improving communication skills:

(iii) Methods of assessment of students numerical and communication skills: It will be assessed by
the presentation

G Course Evaluation and Improvement Processes

1 Strategies for Obtaining Student Feedback on Effectiveness of Teaching: University has already
adopted student feedback system to improve upon effectiveness of teaching.
2 Other Strategies for Evaluation of Teaching: Asking the related questions from the students on
the other day of teaching the topic, so as to evaluate adaptiveness of students towards the subject
and related topics.
3 Processes for Improvement of Teaching
i) Revision of topics already taught on periodic basis,
ii) Conducting the mock tests after the completion of topics.
iii) Additional attention to be given to week students.
iv) Usage of real life examples for the lively explanation of cumbersome technical topics.
