Computer Networks II spring 2010

This is a course where you will read scientific articles, present them to others, write a few reviews and do some lab work. The absence of a written exam at the end is compensated for by keeping you busy throughout the course with a number of small tasks. In order to get an idea of what is expected from you and what the rules that applies in this course are, you are strongly encouraged to read through the course information page carefully. Some of this information will be presented at the first lecture, but it is assumed that all students have read through the full information and know what applies.

As the actual content of the course is very much dependent on the number of students, some details may be changed after the first lecture when we know the number of students. Such changes will be about removing rather than adding scheduled time.
