14.    Load balancing, traffic engineering, QoS and protection

9. Method of instruction Two hours of classroom lecture weekly The lectures include practical case studies and design examples too.

10. Assessment

a. During the semester: one mid-semester in-class test at the end of semester and homework assignment. Final mark is given by the results of mid-semester test and homework by 60 / 40%. Grading: 0-39% : 1, 40-52% : 2, 53-65% : 3, 66-79% : 4, 80-100% : 5

b. In the examination period: -

c. Early-exam: -

11. Recaps Failed or missed mid-semester in-class test may be repeated once in the repeat period. Homework assignment may be handed in late until the end of the repeat period.

12. Consultations On demand consultation after the lessons, or by appointment in e-mail.
