In this course, a 'student-centered' approach will be emphasized instead of the traditional teacher-centered approach. Students are expected to attend all classes, read related chapters and notes before class, work homework exercises, and participate in class discussion, problem solving and laboratory experiments In order to be a successful system administrator, the student should be self-motivated and actively involved in the learning process. Every class will begin with a question and answer session, where the previous class days work will be discussed/reviewed. Reading the notes for the assigned day should be completed before the start of each class. The University of Houston-Clear Lake and its staff are here to help students learn and achieve their academic goals. The instructor is expected to be prepared, to be punctual, to conduct appropriate classroom activities such as delivering lectures and promoting classroom discussions, to keep students informed of any changes in the course, to assist students generally in their efforts to learn the course material, and to evaluate student performance on assignments, on exams, and for the course as a whole. |
