For next class week =============== 1) Nothing currently until Geoffrey puts out the list of what will be covered in the coming weeks. 2) I suspect that a CCNA 2 mailing list will also be created to handle Part 2 which will take up the rest of this TAFE semester. Other ==== 1) Finish off any chapter exams and the Cisco assessment form (all online) that have not been completed yet. Course Notes ========== The required course material and the Chapter assessment exams (when Geoffrey enables them) are on the Cisco web site: http://cisco.netacad.net or try http://cisco.netacad.net/public.

The survey form is back up. I'll reenable it each morning---so it should be available from now until sat morning more or less continuously. Those with missing chapter exams should email me and let me know when they want them enabled. Geoffrey |

Hi Lance, The handouts mentioned were printoffs of the labs from the cisco material. As you go through the stuff there is an occasional icon for "Lab"---that's them. When you are ready for some tests just let me know.

To avoid the irritating disabling of java when opening opera, you have to=
edit=20
/usr/bin/opera with vi or emacs, and uncomment the lines about 2/3 of the=
way=20
down, which says:
# Uncomment the next lines to workaround the "preloaded libXt" problem.
# LD_PRELOAD=3D"${OPERA_JAVA_DIR}/libawt.so"
# OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED=3D"1"
# export LD_PRELOAD OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED
Opera should work better after this.

Hello As well as doing the Chapter 9, 10, and 11 exams next Monday night (March 31st.) we will also be getting the practice exam (which covers Chapters 1-15). This was confirmed by Geoffrey tonight. The week after (April 7th.) is the last week in Quarter One of the Cisco CCNA course so we get the first 'final'. In addition somewhere along the way there are also the Chapter exams for 12, 13, 14, and 15. Paraphrasing Shakespeare "Cisco hath murdered sleep".

Hello I have had problems starting on the weekend when trying to connect to the "cisco.netacad.net" site - it keep coming up with the following message: "This site is currently undergoing extended maintenance activities between the hours of 2:00 AM - 11:00 AM GMT." However talking to Cisco I found that I can get on using the "cisco.netacad.net/public" web page. I am curious to know if others have had the same difficulty or is it just me (or my computer or my ISP)...

Exam Notes for Cisco CCNA Study Group 1 The CCNA course is covered by Cisco in four semesters which will be called "Parts" to prevent confusion (ie. Parts 1-4). The CCNA course will be covered by Geoffrey at TAFE over two semesters. Or in other words: TAFE Semester 1 - first 9 weeks - Part 1 TAFE Semester 1 - second 9 weeks - Part 2 TAFE Semester 2 - first 9 weeks - Part 3 TAFE Semester 2 - second 9 weeks - Part 4 The following are some notes on the exams schedule as I heard Geoffrey tell it... On-line exams =========== Geoffrey will be attempting to enable Chapter exams (computer - multiple choice) on the Cisco web site (if it is not down for maintenance) for the following periods: noon Wednesday - noon Thursday noon Friday - noon Saturday Class Chapter exams ================ Expect at least one Chapter exam (written - multiple choice - closed book) to be given during every TAFE class period - there are a total of 15 Chapters to be done by the end of week 8 (and as of March 3rd. we can have done Chapters 1,2 and 5)! These will have a greater weighting then then on-line exams since they will be definately closed book. Class 'Part' Final Exam ================= The Final exam (written - multiple choice - closed book) for the first part of the CCNA course will be held in class during week 9. I gather there will be a 'practice' exam preceeding in (week 8?). The pass mark is around 70% which if met will entitle you to a Cisco voucher. Then what? ========= For the remaining 9 weeks of Semester 1 the next part of the CCNA course will be covered and a Final exam given in Week 18. Semester 2 will be like Semester 1 (Parts 3 and 4 done). Cisco CCNA Exam =============== After surviving TAFE Semesters 1 and 2 (Ciscos parts 1-4) one should be ready to sit for the actual CCNA exam (written - multiple choice - closed book) at an approved testing center ($100 US). The pass mark for this exam is around 85%. I gather that by this stage if one has passed the four 'finals' given during the TAFE classes this will result in a discount.
