have any questions about your preparedness, please ask the instructor!
COURSE OBJECTIVES—Upon completion, the student will be able to:
 Design, install and configure simple routed networks
 Configure routed and routing protocols and Access Control Lists
 Configure Cisco switches and VLAN’s
 Prepare for the CCNA ICND2 Exam 640-816 (see Resources & Links in the LMS)
NOTE: This 2000 level internet class demands that the student be self motivated and self disciplined. You
are responsible to keep up with the schedule, assignments, and exams, but I will be contacting you throughout
the semester via the LMS and via email. You will be expected to read and comprehend approximately 75
pages from the textbook, view the instructor’s PowerPoint slides, participate in class discussions, and perform
1 or 2 labs every week. Since this is a 3 credit hour, 8 week class, you should expect to invest 8-10 hours per
week in order to succeed…that’s averaging over an hour per day! You should not plan to wait until the last
minute to begin your assignments, because some of the material is best absorbed in multiple shorter learning
sessions. This is a very intense course of study, but it is a lot of fun, and very rewarding!
Attendance Policy: On-campus attendance is not required in this 100% online internet course. Although this
internet class is somewhat self paced, the student must discipline himself or herself to keep up with the
scheduled weekly deadlines.
Teaching methods: May include reading assignments, PowerPoint presentations, labs, class discussions,
group work, scheduling, research, student presentations, problems, quizzes, and examinations.
Grading System: 90% A, 80% B, 70% C, 60% D, below 60% F
LMS: The Learning Management System for this course is Blackboard at https://bb.tulsacc.edu and
will be used extensively for accessing and submitting assignments, class discussions, and taking exams.
Check the class web site frequently, and view the chapter slides which your instructor has provided.
Discussion Board:
I will not be taking a grade on class participation. However, it is imperative that you check the
discussion board at least once or twice each week, participate in any class discussions, ask for
assistance, and offer your assistance to classmates. Since you are sharing the lab with other students,
you must go here to reserve and release the lab equipment. Feel free to post info on CCNA
certifications, current events, job openings, problems with the lab, or any other pertinent topics.
Discussion participation will be taken into consideration for students with borderline grades.
o Always reserve and release the lab equipment, since we are sharing it
o Part of the reason for class discussions is to help one another
o If you get lost or overwhelmed, please do not hesitate to post a message!
o Students often share related work experiences in the discussion board
Wiki: For those who would like to schedule weekly times to perform labs, you can reserve one of the the lab
sets (devices 1-4 or 5-8) ahead of time. Note: Everyone must check the Wiki before making reservations in
the discussion board. The Wiki is located under Communications / Wikis.

Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Contact the
Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit.
Check the TCC Academic Calendar for deadlines. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may
receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Email: All TCC students receive a designated “MyTCC” email address (ex:
jane_doe@mail.tulsacc.edu). All communications to you about TCC and course
assignments will be sent to your MyTCC email address; and you must use MyTCC email
to send email to, and receive email from, the instructor regarding this course.
Inclement Weather: TCC rarely closes. If extreme weather conditions or emergency
situations arise, TCC always gives cancellation notices to radio and television stations.
This information is also posted on the TCC website (www.tulsacc.edu).
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: Academic dishonesty (aka cheating, plagiarism) is defined as the deception of others
about one’s own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at
campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain
forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are
not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. For a first offense, the student will
receive a “zero” for the assignment, and must sign a written warning. Any repeat offense will result in the student
receiving an “F” grade for the course.
