It may be possible for a student to acquire this knowledge and skills through additional study during the course.

We will cover the essential tools used to configure and manage a server for use in a basic network. Lectures, projects and exercises will reinforce skills as they are learned. Specific topic coverage includes: Introduction to Windows Server 2012 R2, Managing Hardware Devices, Creating and Managing Users, Implementing and Managing Groups, Managing Access to Files, Managing Disk and Data Storage, Advanced File System Management, Implementing and Managing Printing, Implementing and Using Group Policies, Administering a Server, Monitoring Server Performance, Managing and

You are expected to participate in on-line discussions, assignments, various quizzes, and exams, and other class activities. 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/or link supplementary materials as appropriate which you are expected to review each week. Some lectures may be accompanied with podcasts. Instead of classroom discussions you will be expected to post your own college-quality written comments on the weekly discussion assigned by the Instructor and respond to your fellow students' comments. I will read and assess your posts as well as comment on them if necessary for clarification purposes. 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. 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. I cannot tell when you are having problems and you cannot raise your hand for help. You must make the initiative to contact me via email, office hours, or phone call. 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.
