COIT20264 | Presentation and Written Assessment | Network Design

General

You should progressively develop your logical network design based on the scenario given on page 6 of this document. In this process, you are expected to participate in the weekly discussions and find the answers to the recommended discussion questions. The weekly discussion questions have been selected and formulated not only to gradually increase your knowledge and skills in this unit but also to help you develop the logical and physical network designs. If you do not attempt weekly discussion questions you would very likely produce a logical network design that would not satisfy the requirements and/or that cannot be justified.

Part A

Objectives

In this part of Assessment Item 1, you will create and deliver an oral presentation on your logical network design. The scenario to be used for the logical network design is given on page 6. Please refer to the Unit Profile to understand how this part of the assessment item relates to the Unit Learning Outcomes (ULOs).

Requirements

All students

You are to demonstrate your technical as well as presentation skills by presenting your logical network design, and receive feedback from your peers and/or the tutor. The presentation should include the outcomes of your weekly discussions to Q2 of Week 4, Q2 of Week 5 and Q2 of Week 6. Each of you need to upload a copy of the presentation slides of your group to Moodle before delivering the presentation.

On-Campus students

On-campus students should deliver their presentations during the class time in weeks 7 and 8. You will be required to work in groups of up to 4 or individually. The maximum duration for each presentation group will be 15 minutes, including 5 minutes for answering the questions and the discussion. This time frame will be strictly enforced due to time constraints.

Please note that the presentations must be completed on the scheduled day. If your group does not present on the scheduled day, you will receive 0 marks for Part A unless you have a valid reason supported by evidence such as a medical certificate.

                                                                                                     

Distance students

Distance students should contact the unit coordinator by the end of week 3 and agree for a suitable presentation method and time. The presentations could also be recorded by you (or the group) and uploaded to YouTube with a link provided in the presentation slides. Answering of questions and the discussion could then be undertaken via telephone at a mutually agreed time. You will have to complete your presentations in weeks 7 and 8 of the term.

Submission

You need to upload a copy of the presentation slides of your group to Moodle before delivering the presentation.
