Software Tools

Course Description

The course will cover more advanced topics in networking, concentrating on higher-level protocols, network programming and application, multimedia, and security. It complements and builds upon the material covered in CSE 3213.

Prerequisite

General Prerequisite.

Late Assignments and Missed Midterm

Late assignments will not be accepted, unless a prior arrangement is made with the instructor.
Makeups of missed midterm exams are only possible in extremely exceptional situations (such as verifiable medical emergencies) or by arrangement well prior to the exam, provided there is an extremely compelling reason.

Academic Honesty

"The Department takes the matter of academic honesty very seriously. Academic honesty is essentially giving credit where credit is due. And not misrepresenting what you have done and what work you have produced. When a piece of work is submitted by a student it is expected that all unquoted and uncited ideas and text are original to the student. Uncited and unquoted text, diagrams, etc., which are not original to the student, and which the student presents as their own work is considered academically dishonest." For more see: Department of Computer Science Academic Honesty Guidelines.
