Assignment:
Welcome back! Today we’re going to go over the class rules, or as I like to call them, the Policies and Procedures.
Society’s based on policies and procedures. Without ’em, we’re no better than poo-flinging monkeys in the jungle. Humans agree to abide by laws so we can all get along and get things accomplished with a minimum of screaming, head-bashing and poo-flinging.
The policies and procedures are pretty straightforward, and they’re all posted in the front of the room where you can see them at all times. They’re all really based on one simple thing: respect.
I’m going to show you respect at all times in the classroom, and all I ask is that you return the favor.
I also ask that you treat everyone else with respect, so that they can do the same for you.
The chairs have wheels for a reason: if you need to scoot over to collaborate with a partner, that’s great. Don’t use them to scoot all over the room, and don’t get up and wander aimlessly. Move with purpose.
Have respect for other people who are trying to get work done, and don’t bother them. Don’t steal anybody’s work (or stuff, for that matter).
Treat my stuff and the school’s stuff with respect, so that it can stay in good shape for you and for everyone else. Let me know right away if anything is marked, damaged or missing so I can address it immediately.
We’re going to have a lot of opportunities to critique the work of others in this class. Keep it respectful, positive and constructive, please. Don’t feel bad if someone else critiques your work, it’s only going to help you improve and get stronger.
I’ve got a lot of cool stuff to teach you in this class. Please don’t make it any harder for me than it already is by disrupting my class, or making it harder for the people around you to pay attention.
I promise not to come to your room and mess it up; can you do me the same courtesy? I’d appreciate it.
Don’t leave the room without my permission. I need to know where you are at all times. If you need to leave the room, please sign out on the digital sign-out sheet provided.
Read your Student Handbook! We all (you and me both) are required to abide by its policies, so it’s important to know exactly what those policies are so you don’t violate them unintentionally (Or intentionally!).
Do any of the class policies seem strange? Like something you shouldn’t have to be asked not to do? Guess what: the reason that policy’s in place is because some knucklehead decided to be a creep and had to be told to stop. Please: Don’t be that guy.
If you can agree to abide by these policies and procedures, then we can all get along. If there’s anything you feel like you can’t agree to here, let me know and we can talk it over.
I can introduce myself to the instructor and the other students in the classroom by completing an icebreaker activity to help build a fun and collaborative working environment.

Welcome to my classroom website for Networking and CyberSecurity 1-2H! This website will be your one-stop shop for all classroom assignments, announcements and materials pertaining to the class.
Today we’re going to do one of those “getting to know you” activities. I know, you’re probably going to do something like this in every class today. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to make it fun.
I can prepare for success in the class by familiarizing myself with the classroom and introducing myself to the instructor and the other students in the classroom so I can more efficiently and effectively complete class activities and assignments.

Assignment:
Welcome to my classroom website for Networking and Cybersecurity! Frankly, I’m surprised you’re here – I’m not going to introduce this website to the rest of the class for another couple of days. I guess until then, it’ll be our little secret. This website will be your one-stop shop for all classroom assignments, announcements and materials pertaining to the class.
Take a look around! I’ll explain everything here very soon.
Tomorrow we’re going to do one of those “getting to know you” activities. I know, you’re probably going to do something like this in every class for the next few days. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to make it fun.
The fact that you even found this site shows you have a remarkably inquisitive and adventurous personality. Those qualities will serve you well here. When you meet me, mention the secret words “Mocha Latte“, and I’ll give you a prize. Don’t tell anyone else! It’s a secret to everybody.
I can reflect on my involvement and engagement with the lessons I have learned during the 1st Quarter of Fall 2022 by answering a series of reflective questions so that I can identify my areas of strength and opportunities for growth.
Connect to the Google Classroom site and click on the link to the Google Form at the bottom of the latest post.
Think back from the beginning of the school year to now, and answer the questions provided to reflect on your successes and struggles throughout the first quarter.
You must have at least two complete sentences for each question in each prompt, but use as many sentences as you need to complete your short answer.
Once you have answered all the questions, continue to the next section until the Submit button appears. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page to submit your final responses. Do not click any other buttons or navigate away from the page before submitting your answers, or they may be erased. You may even wish to type your answers in a Google Doc or Word Document and then transfer them to the form.
Once you have submitted your form, return to the Google Classroom assignment post, and click the Mark as Done button to mark this assignment as completed and ready for grading.
Your response will be graded on the following criteria: meeting minimum length requirements, clarity, original ideas and mechanics (spelling, grammar and punctuation).
You should consider this a professional post-mortem of a long-form academic project, and conduct yourself accordingly.
Good luck, and thanks for all your hard work in the first quarter! Enjoy your Fall Break, and I’ll see you on the 17th when we’ll get started with advanced network security tools within the Linux environment!
