contributes to the client/server model's effectiveness in network communication.

Assessment of Student Learning:


Objective Questions:

1. What are the primary roles of clients and servers in the client/server model?
2. Compare and contrast two types of servers used in the client/server model. What are their
specific functions and typical applications?
3. How does the client/server model contribute to efficient data management and security in
network environments?

Subjective Questions:

organization's ability to deliver services or manage data effectively. What measures could
have been taken to prevent or mitigate these challenges?
2. Imagine you are advising a startup company on selecting appropriate server technologies
for their online platform. What factors would you consider, and why is the client/server
model advantageous in this scenario?
3. Discuss the ethical considerations involved in managing client/server interactions,
particularly in terms of data privacy and user consent. How can organizations uphold
