Title: Expectations, Goals and Methods
Course: CIS 208: Linux/UNIX III: Intermediate System Administration, Networking, and Security ~ For IGNITE Review > Section: Learning Modules

Discuss Expectations, Goals and Methods

We will take time to discuss the expectations for this class. In particular we will look at time commitments, scheduling, and how to contact the instructor.  Although this information is available in the class syllabus, students will get a chance to give feedback and express their own expectations.

We will look at the goals of the course and the intentions of the students.  Students can express why they are learning system administration.  While the hobbyist is welcome, the primary focus will be getting hands on experience and preparation for certification exams.

The methods of the course will include reading, discussion, labs, and homework assignments in addition to quizzes and exams.  Students will be expected to work with a PC which they configure, Blackboard, NetLabs, the Measure Up website, and the textbook.
