“…A recent work [4] faced similar challenges and designed a course of Computer Forensics for first-year students. There is a more extensive literature on the lab design of a networking class (e.g., [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]). The proposed lab design is either general for supporting multiple networking classes (e.g., [6,7,8,13]) or dedicated to a particular class (e.g., [9,10] for wireless networking, and [17] for security auditing).…”

“…The proposed lab design is either general for supporting multiple networking classes (e.g., [6,7,8,13]) or dedicated to a particular class (e.g., [9,10] for wireless networking, and [17] for security auditing). Similarly, there are many literature studies on introducing cutting-edge technologies to the classroom (e.g., introduction of virtualization [18,5,11,7,19], cloud [15], and IP phone [16]). Different from the literature, we seek to propose an overall course design that is simple, relevant and interesting, with the aim to stimulate the interests of the freshmen students and to avoid the creation of frustration in their transition period.…”

In Computer Science/Information Technology (CS/IT), it is challenging to teach a networking class for freshmen students. On one hand, freshmen students have a very limited knowledge base, and the transition process from high school to college education patterns may take a long time (and vary on a individual basis). On the other hand, teaching networking requires the coverage of abstract networking theories and concepts and demands extensive hands-on practice. Consequently, a successful design of the freshmen networking class is vital to ensure the smooth transition and build a solid basis for advanced classes. In this paper, we present our design for teaching a freshmen networking class. Different from literature studies where the major focus is keeping the teaching up with the cutting-edge technologies, we embed the principle of simple, relevant, and interesting, with the aim to keep the interests of the freshmen students and to avoid the creation of frustration in their early studies. We also summarize our major design strategies and share feedback from the students and lessons that we learned. The presented design, although dedicated to teaching networks for CS/IT freshmen, can be applied to many other subjects of CS/IT as well as other majors.
