Computer Networks and Internets

Examinations All examinations are closed book and closed notes. Study guides will be distributed prior to the examinations. All examinations are comprehensive but will mostly focus on recently covered material.

Taking Examinations Taking examinations in an online class is problematic. There are two ways you can take the examinations for this course.

I have set up on-campus examination dates and times. You are welcome to come to campus at those times and complete the examination. The dates and times are:

Midterm Examination - 6/22/07 1:00pm - Science Hall 250C (that is come to my office and I'll get you set up to take the exam).

Final Examination - 8/3/07 1:00pm - Science Hall 250C

You can find a proctor who will administer the examination. See this document for proctor requirements.

The due dates for proctored examinations are:

Midterm Examination - Must be postmarked by 6/25/07 midnight.

Final Examination - Must be postmarked by 8/6/07 midnight.

Reading Assignments It's in your best interest to read the reading assignments prior to attempting to do the homework and machine problems. Reading the reading assignments the evening before the examinations is not recommended.

Homework Assignments All homework problems must be submitted to the Math/CS/Econ homework submission system http://mathcshwk.emporia.edu/. Instructions on how to use the system are available here. Do not under any circumstances send me your homework assignment via email. The homework system is extremely anal and will not accept assignment after the due date and time. Don't even think about submitting late homework assignments.

Special Needs Emporia State University will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students need to contact the Director of Disability Services and the professor as early in the semester as possible to ensure that classroom and academic accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. All communication between students, the Office of Disability Services, and the professor will be strictly confidential.
