Organization

This course has

The textbook is "Computer Networks -- A Systems Approach", by Peterson and Davie. This is available from amazon ($74.95 before shipping), borders ($72.95 before shipping) barnes and noble ($74.95 before shipping), or your favorite on-line or face-to-face bookstore. The book has not been requested for the UH bookstore.

I also plan to refer to "Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume II -- Design, Implementation, and Internals", by Douglas E. Comer and David L. Stevens, third edition (June 1998). I have asked the UH Manoa library to put this book on reserve.

The course meets Tuesdays and Fridays at 4pm in Kyukendall 204,

As the semester progresses, I will be experimenting with distance-learning technologies other than HITS lectures. Since most of these are network based, I am hoping to work them into the class material.

I expect to assign grades based on your performance on projects and exams, and based on class participation. In grading, I will be looking for evidence of understanding of the material and evidence of your ability to do work in the field.
