Course grades will be calculated according to the following schema (tentative) :
| Class Attendance | 35% |
| Homework Assignments, etc. | 15% |
| Midterm Exam | 20% (25% if the “Final” is a non-comprehensive second Midterm) |
| Final Exam | 30% (25% if the “Final” is a non-comprehensive second Midterm) |
By its nature, Network Administration involves learning and developing hands-on skills. The regular Monday classes, which will mostly be more like Lab sessions, are therefore a central and critically important component of the course. Class attendance is therefore mandatory and will constitute a significant component of your final grade.
