PTI501 Cisco Networking I Student Competency Record
My philosophy is that every student can learn and succeed through hard work and diligence.
All courses are modular, computer-based, & self-paced. All work required for said courses are done in class. Cisco Networking can be accessed via the Internet from home at the following link: Cisco Network Academy
The students work is assessed via PowerPoint presentation, worksheets, labs, module exams, module quizzes, and effort. Students will receive credit for all worksheets and labs that are turned in to my satisfaction. Exam and quizzes will be administrated and their results recorded. A presentation rubric is used for all presentations.
As part of the course, students are exposed to Career Development activities as well as Teamwork concepts and activities. Credit will be given for assignments that will contribute to the overall grade in the course.
