Course Objectives
Learning purposes:
Learn about the typical communications protocols used in the real world by reading rigorous technical documents from the textbook and understanding the systemic behaviors of the protocols.
Course objectives:
1. To be able to imagine the systemic behavior belonging to the typical communications protocols.
2. To gain experience understanding rigorous technical writings.
Rubric
| Excellent | Good | Acceptable | Not acceptable |
| Achievement 1 | The student can imagine the systemic behavior of all protocols taught. | The student can imagine the systemic behavior of a sufficient number of protocols. | The student can imagine the systemic behavior of a minimum number of the protocols. | The student cannot imagine the systemic behavior of a minimum number of the protocols. |
| Achievement 2 | The student understands most textbook content. | The student understands a sufficient amount of the content in the textbook. | The student understands a minimum amount of the content in the textbook. | The student does not understand even a minimum amount of the textbook content. |
Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
General or Specialized: Specialized
Field of learning: Information systems, Programming, and Networks
Required, Elective, etc.: Elective must complete subjects on network programming course.
Foundational academic disciplines: Informatics / Information science, Information engineering, and related fields
Relationship with Educational Objectives: This class is equivalent to "(3) acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area".
Relationship with JABEE programs: the main goal of learning /education in this class is "(A)."
Course outline:
Learn about the typical communications protocols in the real world by reading rigorous technical writing in the textbook and understanding these systemic behaviors of the protocols.
Style:
Course method:
In this class, students' comprehension is evaluated by the quality of their presentations and ability to answer questions.
Grade evaluation method:
Exam(60%) + presentation (20%) + reports(20%)
Exams is conducted 4times and it is equally evaluated.
Exam precautions are the following:
* No student materials allowed,
* Re-exams will be conducted if necessary.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment:
This class is "Required outside of teaching hours course study." Therefore, this course consists of fifteen unit-hours of teaching and fifteen unit-hours of homework per one unit. The student should deal with the homework based on the guidance of the teacher.
Course advice:
In recent years, students seem to have less literacy regarding technical documents. However, this ability is essential to keeping a job in the ever-changing business world after graduation. The documents on communications protocols are a fit subject to exercise this ability.
Foundational subjects: Basic Information Networks (2nd year), Advanced Information Networks (4th), Communication Engineering (4th)
Related subjects: Information System Analysis (5th year)
Attendance advice: If you are late up half of one period, you are treated as late for the class. If you are more than half of one period late, you will be treated as absent.
