Catalog Description: Various topics in networking using Microsoft products aimed at the less common MCSE electives. Unlimited repeatability. (5 credits) Course Prerequisites: CIT212 or Instructor's approval. It is expected that all Students have the following knowledge and skills prior to starting the course: The fundamentals of networking technology; a strong "stand alone" computer background and feel comfortable working in a windows environment. It may be possible for a student to acquire this knowledge and skills through additional study during the course. Course Description: Welcome to CIT 215 Microsoft Networking V. This course covers all the learning objectives for the Designing and Implementing a Server Infrustructure exam, which is the third of three exams needed in order to obtain a Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate(MCSA) certification. If your desire is to become Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert(MSCE) certification, repeating this course when we cover the Implementing an Advanced Server Infrastructure exam. This course will prepare you to configure and manage high availability (Network Load Balancing, NLB, failover clustering, and Virtual Machines), configure file and storage solutions, implement business continuity and disaster recovery plans, configure network services (DNS, DHCP, IPAM), configure the Active Directory infrastructure, and configure identity and access solutions. This class will conclude with each successful student creating a hypothetical organization's

2 application server and network infrastructure design using server applications included within Windows Server 2012 Standard. The weekly chapter readings, and the most significant assignments (labs) are listed in the schedule below. Assignments are due the week after they have been assigned. Additional assignments may be given from time to time depending on class progress with due dates noted when the assignments are given. To complete assignments students will need to use the Remote Access Lab maintained by GBC's COT Dept. As an Internet based class, there are no traditional lectures, discussions, or labs. In lieu of lectures, I will create various posts, video lectures, and link supplementary materials as appropriate which you are expected to review each week. Furthermore, you are expected to keep up with the weekly chapter reading assignments from the book. Instead of classroom discussions you will be expected to post your own college quality written comments on one topic related to the class readings each week as well as respond to your fellow students' comments. To help you with ideas for posts you may consult the textbook, lab manual, or my posts on each week's material. I will read and assess your posts as well as comment on them if necessary for clarification purposes. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION: This class will be taught via Internet using WebCampus. You are expected to participate in online discussions, assignments, various quizzes, and exams, and other class activities. Labs are accomplished by the use of a remote desktop procedure and Hyper V Manager Software. To complete the lab exercise, a high speed internet connection is required. It has also been proven a wired connection is favorable over a wireless connection. Some lectures may be accompanied with podcasts which will be linked to this online syllabus for you to download. These podcasts will be recorded in the MP3 format and can be listened to using any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer or with an MP3 player. I will also post potential discussion ideas and comments which you will be expected to respond to. I will read and assess your posts as well as comment on them if necessary for clarification purposes. AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ONLINE CLASSES: 1. Do not assume that online classes are easier than traditional "face-to-face" classes. 2. Online classes can actually be more difficult than traditional classes. They require constant motivation and self-direction on the part of the student. 3. You are responsible for reading, studying, asking questions, completing assignments, being organized, and staying on schedule. 4. Instead of classroom discussions you will be expected to post your own college quality written comments on one topic related to the class readings as assigned as well as respond to your fellow students' comments. STUDENT RESPONSABILITIES: Be able to access the class website through Web Campus. Contact the Technology Help Desk - helpdesk@gwmail.gbcnv.edu Phone: Have and maintain High Speed Internet access throughout the semester.

The drop deadline for spring is Monday, March 30, If you do not officially withdraw from the class, your grade will be based on the assignments you have completed averaged with zeroes for uncompleted assignments, which could result in a grade of F. To withdraw from the class, you must contact the instructor and complete the Add/Drop form available at the center. The W is not used in computing your cumulative grade-point average. It will appear, however, on your transcript, and will always be a permanent part of it. An (I)ncomplete will be given only to a student who has completed ¾ of the course with a grade of C or better, but is unable to complete the class for good cause. You must arrange for the incomplete with your instructor and acknowledge the statement of work you must complete to receive a final grade. You have until March 15 th for Fall Semesters and October 15 th for Spring Semesters to complete the work for a final grade. An incomplete not made up within this time period will have a grade assigned by the instructor, which could be an F or W. ASSIGNMENTS: All assignments are due by the date posted within WebCampus. No late work is accepted, unless it is approved in writing by the instructor by 5:00 p.m. PST the day prior to the assignment s due date. For example, if an assignment is due on Tuesday night, written approval by the instructor must be received by 5:00 pm PST on Monday. EXAM & QUIZ PROCEDURES: All exams and quizzes will be objective, e.g. true/false, multiple choice, fill-in the blank, etc., and will be conducted using WebCampus. ATTENDANCE POLICY: The instructor must agree in advance to any excused absences unless there are strong extenuating circumstances. Three (3) unexcused absences can result in a failing grade, in an on-line class an absence is one week when you do not participate in class or contact the instructor.
