CCNAv7 Curriculum Description

In this curriculum, Cisco Networking Academy™ participants develop workforce readiness skills and build a foundation for success in networking-related careers and degree programs. With the support of video and rich interactive media, participants learn, apply, and practice CCNA knowledge and skills through a series of in-depth hands-on experiences and simulated activities that reinforce their learning. Upon completion of all three course offerings, learners will be prepared to take the Cisco CCNA Unified certification exam.

CCNAv7 teaches comprehensive networking concepts and skills, from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications. Learners will progress from basic networking to more complex enterprise and theoretical networking models later in the curriculum.

CCNAv7 includes the following features:

There are three offerings that make up the CCNAv7 curriculum.
The three offerings align to and cover the competencies outlined for the CCNA Certification Exam.
Each offering is comprised of multiple modules. Each module is comprised of topics.
Modules emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and the practical application of skills.
Each topic includes a Check Your Understanding interactive quiz, or some other way to assess understanding, such as a lab or

a Packet Tracer. These topic-level assessments are designed to tell learners if they have a good grasp of the topic content, or if they need to review before continuing. Learners can ensure their level of understanding well before taking a graded quiz or exam. Check Your Understanding quizzes do not affect the learner’s overall grade.

Students learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to prepare for the Cisco CCNA exam, networking related degree programs, and entry-level networking careers.
The language used to describe networking concepts is designed to be easily understood by learners at all levels and embedded

interactive activities help reinforce comprehension.

Assessments and practice activities are focused on specific competencies to increase retention and provide flexibility in the

learning path.

Multimedia learning tools, including videos, games, and quizzes, address a variety of learning styles and help stimulate learning

and promote increased knowledge retention.

Hands-on labs and Cisco® Packet Tracer simulation-based learning activities help students develop critical thinking and complex

problem-solving skills.

Embedded assessments provide immediate feedback to support the evaluation of knowledge and acquired skills.
Cisco Packet Tracer activities are designed for use with the latest version of Packet Tracer.
Oracle VirtualBox, the most recent version.
Wireshark version 2.5 or higher.

CCNAv7: Introduction to Networks (ITN) Outline

The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications, and data through the internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LANs) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

Listed below are the current set of modules and their associated competencies outlined for this course. Each module is an integrated unit of learning that consists of content, activities, and assessments that target a specific set of competencies. The size of the module will depend on the depth of knowledge and skill needed to master the competency. Some modules are considered foundational, in that the artifacts presented, while not assessed, enable learning of concepts that are covered on the CCNA certification exam.

Grading Policy:

Category Weight Calculations: Category Average * (MP Weight / 100) = Category Score
Final Grade Calculation: ((Sum of Category Scores) * 100) / (Sum of Category Weights)) + Extra Credit Points

Category		Weight
Tests		25.0
Quizzes		20.0
Class Work		20.0
Authentic Assessment		25.0
Homework		10.0
		100.0

Homework: Homework will consist of completing the assignments in the PC Hardware and Software Lab Manual and additional exercises listed on the weekly assignment sheet. Completion will be documented on the weekly assignment sheet.

Projects: There will be graded lab assignments. You will work in teams of two, but labs will be graded on an individual basis. All labs require the instructor or lab assistant’s initial on the weekly assignment sheet upon completion. Labs will be accepted late but at a reduction of 20 points per day (max. score 100). Labs will not be accepted over a week late (The only exception is Instructor approved excused absence). If your lab partner is absent during a lab day, continue to work on your labs. It will be your lab partner’s responsibility to catch up.

Tests: There will also be in-class close book quizzes/tests as we complete each chapter of the text. They will be short quizzes and are based on the content of the current chapter.

Make-Up Policy: First of all, MAKE-UP WORK IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! Assignments and homework can be obtained by going to our class calendar @ . Tests and quizzes are to be made-up in the morning before school on the day of your return or at a scheduled time per the instructor, which generally speaking, will be during Student Access Time.

Re-do Policy:

Students will have an opportunity to redo any semester work that is graded as D (70) or below. If a student opts to take advantage of the redo policy, it must be re-submitted within one (1) week of the graded assignment and the highest grade a student can receive is a 71

Classroom Rules of Conduct:

You are expected to be punctual, alert, and prepared for class. You will be considerate of other students, which includes being quiet except when you are contributing to the class. You are encouraged to ask questions when in class - if you are confused or uncertain; it's likely your classmates are also. If you desire extra help, make arrangements with your instructor to schedule a time during office hours.
Class time will be spent doing activities of relevance and rigor to joyfully accomplish the objectives of our course. In keeping with this mission, students are to remain on task for the entire period.
All work areas must be straightened up before anyone is dismissed (all paper in the trash, chairs pushed in, and computer workbenches NEAT and ORGANIZED). I (Mr. Jean) dismiss you, not the bell, so if everything is in order when the bell rings, you will not be late for your next class. J
NO FOOD, GUM, CANDY, DRINKS, ETC. ARE ALLOWED IN THE LAB SETTING. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Cellular Phones

Cellular phones and pagers are not allowed in class.
Respect should be shown to all classroom equipment and materials…and to the computer hardware that we will be handling in a variety of ways on a very frequent basis throughout the year. Carelessness will not be tolerated.

AND FINALLY… (drum roll, please)

Take charge of your learning….doN't fall behind…and if you need help, please let me know, but be sure to DO YOUR PART every step of the way…your success in this class truly depends on it.

Academic Dishonesty Policy: The integrity of the academic program and the evaluation of each student’s achievement are of primary concern to educational institutions. Cheating on an educational exercise not only reflects dishonesty on the part of the student but also diminishes the value of the work done by his/her classmates. Students who cheat or plagiarize (using another’s words, ideas, or writing as one’s own) shall be subject to the following: referral to the Assistant Principal; parent/guardian contacted; a zero recorded for the exercise; possible detention and/or suspension; and/or removal from the course with a grade of “F” recorded on the transcript.
