Teaching Hours/Week (L:T:P:8) 4 SEE Marks 50
Total Hours of Pedagogy 40 ‘Total Marks 100
Credits 3 Exam Hours 3
Course objectives: This course will enable students to:
1, Understand the layering architecture of OSI reference model and TCP/IP protocol suite.
2. Understand the protocols associated with each layer.
3. Learn the different networking architectures and thelr representations.
4. Learn the functions and services associated with each layer.
‘Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)
‘These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course
outcomes.
1. Lecture method (L); the traditional lecture method, or a different type of teaching method may be
‘adopted to develop the outcomes,
2, Show Video/animation films to explain the functioning of various concepts in networking.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group) Learning in the class.
4. Ask at least three HOTS (Higher-order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes critical
thinking.
5. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop thinking skills
such as the ability to evaluate, generalize, and analyse information rather than simply recall it.
6. Demonstrate implementation of various protocols to help better understand the functioning of various
concepts in networking.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up with their
own creative ways to solve them.
8, Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps improve
the students’ understanding. *
