Initial creation.
Environment
Please consider how you set up your evaluation environments - be it homework, on-campus quizzes and exams, to minimize chances of (temptations to) cheating.
In particular:
During tests:
- Make sure there is plenty of space between students.
- Always proctor exams and tests, and preferably by sitting at the back of the room rather than at the front. Do not leave the testing room during the test. If you cannot proctor the class yourself, contact me and I will endeavor to find a proctor for you.
- If the test is closed-book, require all backpacks to be zipped shut, all PDAs, computers and phones to be handed in, and any access to either without explicit proctor permission should be an immediate F in the class.
For homework: We have started using on-line support systems to catch cheaters. So I would very strongly urge you:
- For code assignments: Run them all through MOSS
- For essays etc: Run them all through turnitin.com (SJSU has a site subscription, I have been told.)
- Make sure individual contributions are ensured in team projects. This can be done through various means: Sign-offs, quizzes on the content of common work, etc.
Remember: A grade reflects an evaluation of the individual student's achievements. Your evaluation system has to reflect that objective.
Objectives
Implementation of protocols in current practice. TCP/IP, domain name systems, interactive data flow and network management protocols. Topics will cover FTP as well as NFS protocols. Prerequisite: CMPE 206 or instructor consent. Misc/Lab: Lecture 2 hours/lab 3 hours. This semester is an advanced survey class with network protocols. If you are into learning new things quickly, and have a sense of adventure, this class is for you. Topics could include:
Lab
Lab will be provided in the same room as the lecture. Various materials will be used. Group discussion, presentation, tools demo, protocol demo, etc. Detail of the lab will be presented in each class.

Strength and weakness analysis of one of the following protocols.
Each team will be given one topic to research and present during the semester. Mid-term and final will contain some questions related to the topics presented. The team needs to prepare the following:
Email sinn@openloop.com to check your grade if necessary.
The university and departmental policies and deadlines for course drop will be applied. Makeup exams cannot be offered, except under exceptional conditions, such as documented serious illness/accident, etc., and only at the professor's discretion.
Each student is responsible for his/her individual assignment, and must not copy anyone else's work. Students who borrow solutions from others will find themselves unable to pass the course. The minimum penalty for every student involved in the duplication of individual assignments or exams will be receiving a zero score on the submitted work.
For group project, all the work has to be done by your OWN group. Do not try to download "free code" from the Internet and hand in as a project. WE WILL FIND OUT. Do not share your work with others. So DO YOUR OWN WORK and EARN your grade.
