I'm not at TSTC this semester. If you have
questions or need assistance please call the department.
If you need to see me I highly recommend
you call Dottie at 254-867-4831 to make sure I will be able to see you.
With my schedule and recruiting, I'm often out of the office and do NOT
want you to be frustrated further by showing up and I'm not available to see
you.
- Semester credit hour classes, I teach to TSTC Waco students are:
- ITCC 1302: LAN Design and Protocols
-
CCNA 1. This is the first class (of four sequential
classes) in the Cisco Networking Academy Program leading toward your Cisco
Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. This class will cover
basic theories in Networking and signaling. I highly recommend you
finish this class then take your CompTIA Network + certification. You had
better learn your binary, hexadecimal, IP addressing and standard subnet
masking here!
-
ITCC 1306: Basic Router Configuration
-
CCNA2. This is the second semester of the CCNA program.
In this class you will learn to configure routers for an operational
environment using RIP v1 and RIP v2 open standard routing protocols and IGRP,
Cisco's distance vector routing protocol. You will need to have mastered
traditional IP subnet masking by the end of this semester, since we will be
throwing in Access Control Lists.
-
-
ITCC 1342: LAN Management
-
CCNA3. This is the third course in the Cisco Networking Academy
CCNA program. In this class we cover Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM),
Switches, VLANs, as well as single area Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and
Cisco's EIGRP routing protocols. You will have to configure routers and
switches to allow dissimilar networks to communicate with each other.
-
-
ITCC 1346: WAN Management
-
CCNA4, is the fourth and final classes preparing students
for the prestigious CCNA exam. We cover the various types of Wide Area
Network layer two encapsulations and technologies such as Frame Relay, ISDN,
HDLC and PAP.
This class serves as our introduction to computer
literacy and prepares the student to be competent in the use of the
productivity software such as word-processors, spreadsheets,
presentation managers, as well as user-level competency with web
browsers and email clients. Students in my classes have to opportunity
to "get under the hood" and explore the inner workings of a computer as
well as client-side databases. I use my business and consulting
experiences so the student are exposed to real world situations and
industry best practices. If you are examining this course for college
transfer of credit you will be interested to know this course is the
equivalent of COSC 1301 or 1401 at other Texas two-year colleges.
TCP/IP is a collection of
networking protocols and services used by all
systems on the internet and over 98% of the world's Local Area Networks
(LAN). Most folks think this protocol suite only deals with logical
addr4essing and routing but it does so much more!!! In this class we
cover a bit of the history and organizations that affect the protocol
suite, spend a lot of time on addressing, subnetting, and how the
protocol suite identifies packets and segments. We'll also cover how the
TCP/IP works with lower layer protocols and basic services offered
through this protocol suite that are available to all of us. We'll work
with the latest version of Internet protocol-version six and discuss how
to secure TCP/IP environments.
ITSC 1309: Program Logic and Design
Computers (like people) need instructions to
operate. These instructions must be structured in a sequence to
operate properly. This course focuses on learning the logical
structure. This class is designed to the structure of programs
and not to teach a programming language. Once you are
intimately familiar with structures used in programming you will
need to learn the language. At the present time I am not teaching
this class but am restructuring it to use C++ instead of Quick
Basic. If you have any questions about this class you will
need to email me.
Tech-Prep
Tech Prep may not be a college semester credit class - but it is a great way
for students to earn college credits while still in high school! Many
courses taught in our high schools are eligible for tech-prep consideration. If
you have a Tech-Prep question there are several people here at TSTC Waco who can
answer your questions.
